Eastman 2" No-Caulk Brass Shower Drain: Renovation Made Easy
By Maintenance Depot Plumbing Team · Last reviewed
Quick answer
The Eastman 2" no-caulk brass shower drain installs from above the shower pan with a gasket seal, so you can replace a drain in a preformed shower base without caulk or ceiling access.
Replacing a shower drain used to mean cutting into the ceiling below or tearing out the shower base. The Eastman 2" no-caulk brass shower drain changes that: it installs from above the shower pan.
