Here's my problem. Customer bought shower base (Mustee) with 1 1/2" drain. My plumber told me Massachusetts code is 2". The base was bought at Home Crapo (never again) by my customer. I then called Mustee and was told there might be a waiver # for Massachusetts but he's not sure. Never heard back from him. I then went to the (assistant) plumbing inspector and told him about it. He told me to talk to the lead inspector in the morning and that maybe he will come out and look at it and possible approve it. I went through alot on this because the building is on a slab and I cut open the concrete to replace the 1 1/2" galvanized pipe with 2". It's about a 4' section of pipe. It went well because the flange had a 2" bushing that reduced to 1 1/2" but i am going to be ripping if i cut the floor to only get approved by the inspector with only 1 1/2" piping. I just don't understand why they would make me change to 2" but yet allow a 1 1/2" drain. I do have a 2" shower base available. Anyone have any thought's or opinions on this I would appreciate any input. Thank's
