new to posting here. wanted to get some advice. I'm remodeling a shower in a basement. old fiberglass shower pan and subfloor removed. The drain is a galvanized pipe with about 2-3" exposed out of the concrete. The problem is, that the previous shower pan drain, was not connected very well and had some leakage that had been going on for some time. The threads on the galvanized drain coming up through the concrete slab are rusty and are starting to erode. I had planned on using a 2" female ABS adapter to screw to the top of this drain and connect to a new shower drain and pan using ABS. so my questions are..
1) if the threads on the galv pip were intact, would that course of action been appropriate?
2) since I can not use the threads on the drain to screw to, what are my options for hooking up a new drain and shower pan?
Appreciate any advise
