Ive seen the oatey shower drain no caulk and it shows the install with fibre and rubber gasket on bottom and using plumbers putty on top, yet I have had problems with it leaking in the past with the old shower drain pan. Plumbers putty is oil based and IM sure its not supposed to be used with abs which says abs right on top of the white oatey. I want to caulk the no caulk flange in place once and for all so it wont leak! Video shows them using plumbers putty on abs but in captions it says dont use plumbers putty on abs. Have no idea why the rubber gasket is supposed tobe on bottom as well as the fibre. I get the fibre so the nut will spin but what does the rubber gasket even do? Stops nut from backing off?
