I'm in the planning stages for finishing out my basement, which includes a bath that's already roughed-in. I would like to put in a tile shower, however the drain was roughed-in for a tub, making the drain off-center. I want everything up to code, and everything will be permitted and inspected.
Our Kentucky plumbing code seems rather vague in this area and doesn't mention positioning of the shower pan drain, so my question is whether I am off-mark by planning this shower with the drain not centered? Is this something that you'd recommend against? I'd like to avoid busting up the slab to reposition the drain, but will do so if need be. The shower will be 48" wide, 32" deep, making the drain 38" from the furthest edge.
I see that many of you do your homework before responding, so if there's any interest, I've been referencing the 2007 Kentucky Plumbing Code (specifically 815 KAR 20:070 Sect. 6 addresses shower drains).
Any advice is appreciated.
