Transform your shower build with the FloFX Traditional Bond Flange Drain Kit. Designed specifically to drop into most popular preformed foam shower trays—including Schluter, Prova, and Profilitec systems—this drain body removes the guesswork and jobsite delays of shower floor prep. Featuring a robust build, under-flange mortar cavities for maximum stability, and an innovative adjustment ring, it offers a seamless, highly durable finish for professional installers and advanced DIYers alike.

  • Universal Foam Tray Compatibility: Precision-engineered as a direct fit for most preformed foam shower trays (Schluter, Prova, Profilitec).
  • Massive Bonding Surface: Features a full 2-inch surface area to ensure a perfectly strong, watertight bond with the shower membrane.
  • Patent-Pending Stability: Designed with unique under-flange mortar cavities that grip firmly for enhanced structural stability.
  • Easy Flush Adjustment: Uses an adjustment ring and grate riser to prevent mosaic tiles from sagging around the drain.
  • Secure Installation Hardware: Equipped with countersunk screw holes and an innovative locking system for reliable, stable flange placement.
  • Built-in Weep Channels: Positioned under the adjustment ring to manage moisture and maximize longevity.

How to Use (Installation Overview)

  1. Prep the Pipe: Cut your 2-inch waste pipe to the correct height for your specific foam tray.
  2. Solvent Weld the Drain: Use the appropriate pipe cement—ABS cement for the ABS version, or PVC primer and cement for the PVC version—to connect the drain directly to the 2″ waste pipe. (Note: This unit connects directly and is not compatible with a clamping adapter).
  3. Install the Tray: Set your preformed foam tray (or use LFT mortar to achieve 100% coverage with the 3/8″ gap if using Laticrete trays).
  4. Protect During Install: Utilize the included temporary grate install plate to protect the drain body while setting tiles.
  5. Set the Grate: Use the FlushFit™ Adjustment Ring and Friction Free™ Grate Riser to perfectly flush your chosen standard FloFX grate with your tile height.
