Oatey 42273 Testable 130 Series PVC Square Shower Drain – Polished Stainless Steel

Brand: Oatey | SKU: 42273

Product Overview

Oatey 42273 is a Testable 130 Series PVC shower drain designed for tile or marble shower installations that use a shower-pan liner. Its low-profile square design helps accommodate tighter installation spaces, while the screw-in tile ring creates a clean finished edge and helps protect surrounding grout. The polished stainless-steel strainer provides a finished appearance that coordinates easily with many bathroom fixtures.

The drain includes features aimed at both installation and long-term drainage performance. A quarter-turn test plug allows the drain system to be tested during installation, while dual weep channels help move water that reaches the liner into the drain body. The reversible clamp collar provides additional height adjustment for the finished shower assembly.
