When rough plumbing (IPC) a washer does the trap need to be one with a plug cleanout or compression fitting instead of glued? I read the code but not sure. I will have a T cleanout on the vent line

Quick question about shower pan drain. My unit came with one of those 2 inch drains that thread to the fiberglass pan, but it’s not a glue tape to the drain tail , it is a rubber type seal. Any thoughts on these? Seems sketchy but I’ll take the Pro thoughts. Thanks

1. No you don't need a cleanout trap.

2. Are you asking about a no caulk drain? Brass ones are good. Plastic not so much.
