shower tray

dcwuk · 28 May 2007

hi i have a wet floor shower and wish to fit a shower tray presumably i can use the wet floor waste outlet for the new trays outlet how should i do this ?
meaning do i just poke the trays waste down the hole or make up a flange to take the new waste pipe?
secondly and probably a more stupid question which way round does the tray go it has lips on three sides am i right to say that the side without the lip is the entrance?
sorry about all the questions
cheers

Why do you need a tray if your wet room has a drain in the middle of the floor?

because i am fed up with mopping the floor as it is also a w.c

You need to put a shower trap on the tray and attach a waste pipe to it and then run the pipe to a drain.

The side without the lip WILL be the entrance.

Why does it need mopping because it's a wetroom/wc combined?
Bad aim?

It sounds like there's a problem with the current drainage, i.e. the floor gulley is draining too slow or the fall to the gulley is too shallow.

How about creating a barrier with glass blocks? This is part of my next project, refurbing the shower room.
