Drain Options

ANGÉ Tile-EZ Shower Pans provide the most comprehensive options for drains than any other manufacturer to insure the best and easiest drain connection is made possible for any installation in a tiled shower application. Tile-EZ Drain Connection Options include both (a) Solvent Weld and (b) Compression.

(a) Solvent Weld (commonly referred as Tile-EZ Glue-In) drains incorporate a round strainer with a proprietary secondary weep system. A PVC Glue-In drain can be used when full access to the plumbing underneath the pan is available for hookup. For installations that have limited or no access (such as a slab installation) to the plumbing for hook up from underneath the pan, a compression connection (see below) should be used. Learn More

PVC Solvent Weld (Glue-In) Tile-EZ Drain is included as the standard drain connection for all Tile-EZ Shower Pans. A PVC Glue-In drain can be used when full access to the plumbing underneath the pan is available for hookup. For installations that have limited or no access (such as a slab installation) to the plumbing for hook up from underneath the pan, a compression connection (see below) should be used. Unless otherwise noted during or requested at time of order, a PVC Glue-in Drain is included with a round chrome strainer.

For residential homes utilizing ABS pipes, an optional ABS Solvent Weld (Glue-In) Tile-EZ Drain is available upon request at a slight up-charge.

(b) Compression drains are available as an optional connection for all Tile-EZ Shower Pans at a slight up-charge. A compression drain should be used where access to the plumbing underneath the pan is limited for hookup using the standard glue-in connection. Tile-EZ compression drains are available in either solid brass or PVC material and incorporate an internal compression gasket for sealing 2-Inch Schedule 40 drain pipe from above the shower pan. Tile-EZ Compression drains in solid brass construction are also available with an optional conversion gasket for installations that require 2-Inch copper pipe. All Tile-EZ Compression Drains are available with either a round or square strainer cover and incorporate a proprietary secondary weep system below the primary drain cover. Learn More

Drain Strainer Options – Strainer finishes for round and square covers include polished chrome, satin nickel, oil rubbed bronze, and polished brass.





Additional finishes available upon request as special order. Square covers are available with compression connection only. Grid Patterns may be subject to change from time to time.

Tile-EZ Extension Kits – An optional extension kit is available for installations that require height adjustment of the strainer when thicker tile or stone is used on the shower pan. Below is a side view of a Tile-EZ Strainer Top (top piece with optional extension kit) before inserting in the installed PVC compression drain unit (bottom piece).
