Hi, have you ever heard of this problem? I have a slightly undersized cast iron 2" drain pipe in my concrete basement floor, cut flush with the floor. It was previously connected to a shower with a lead pour around the drain fitting, sealing any irregularities.
I'm installing a shower kit with a molded plastic base and a drain from home depot, the brass one with the rubber gasket inside that slips over the pipe, then is compress from above by screwing down a compression ring. well, the drain gasket fits loosely over the pipe, which it turns out is slighltly undersized, about 1/16" (or 1/8-3/16 diameter). No amount of screwing/compressing will seal tightly leak-free.
How do I install this standard 2" drain fitting to an off-standard undersized 2" iron pipe?
