What's different from the Universal Bond Flange Kit?

Outlet Type:

Universal Bond Flange Kit connects to a 2" waste pipe or adapts to a 3-piece clamping drain with the included adapter.
Traditional Bond Flange Kit connects directly to a 2" waste pipe (not compatible with the clamping adapter).

Shower Pan Type:

Universal Kit: best for mortar (drypack) pans.
Traditional Kit: drops into most preformed foam trays.

Grate Compatibility:

Universal Kit works with ANY FloFX grate (incl. Tile-in and Elite Grate Carrier).
Traditional Flange Kit works with any standard FloFX Grate.

Grate Adjustment:

Universal Kit uses a grate carrier/shim set (horizontal & vertical adjust).
Traditional Kit uses an adjustment ring and grate riser.

What preformed shower pans is this compatible with?

Direct fit for Schluter, Prova, and Profilitec foam trays.
Works with Laticrete trays — use an LFT mortar to achieve 100% coverage with the 3/8" gap under the bond flange.

Better price

Better price, better product

From a beginner’s perspective.

I would definitely categorize myself as a beginner in the custom shower stall game but really liked the Schulter concept and seeing the new FloFX videos it made sense to go with your product, once I determined the mating material and ordered it, it came quickly and installed just like the video. I’m at the tile phase as soon as I perform the leak check of the Schulter tray. Top quality product indeed.

Great product

Great product. Much better than others on the market

Flofx advertises their beautiful tile-in drain

Flofx advertises their beautiful tile-in drain option, but doesn’t mention that is is not an option for both drains. Only the universal. So when your all done and ready to buy your tile in grate, your stuck with very few options and it’s very disappointing. :(

Saved me time and money

Remodeling from a fiberglass shower surround to tile with a Kerdi pre-sloped shower pan. I had ordered a Kerdi 2” ABS drain assembly.
The P trap was set way too high in my concrete slab, and I had the straight ABS pipe 2” above the floor. Even if I cut the pipe the Kerdi drain was way too high, and I didn’t have enough vertical pipe to cut to make it fit.
Slab wasn’t level so used self leveler to gain 3/8” of height, still not enough. While searching online for a solution I stumbled on the Flo FX drain solution. Perfectly shorter height! Used an internal pipe cutter to end up with 1” of straight pipe, and had the correct height.
It’s less expensive and better built than the Kerdi drain solution. Good stuff!

As advertised very easy to use and is built sturdy! I would recommend this flofx drain to all DIY's

I love these drain bodies

I love these drain bodies. I especially like the temporary cover that comes in place of the drain grate.

Excellent product.

Quick shipping and excellent products!

FloFX drain pvc kit

Best shower drain and only one I use in my shower and bath remodels!

Flo fx

The drain body is heavier than many in the market, stronger. The drain grates that fit this system are strong as well, look nice. Have many different styles to pick from.

This product is very nice to work with and economically priced.
Very pleased with the quality.

I’ve used both the Flow FX. and Schluter drains and this by far a superior drain assembly. Will use again.

Flo fx circle drain body

Amazing product!!! Thank you for taking the time and thought into the design of this. Works amazingly well with kerdi shower pan. Solid design too!! Thank you so much! May the Lord continue to bless you and your family and company for helping contractors and DIY people with their projects.

Most durable drain body I’ve ever used. The details within the flange for primary and secondary drainage provide reassurance on shower installations, at my home or a clients home. 5 star product, would never go back to standard manufacturer products.

This item is so much better than the schluter Kerri brand

Great Product, Fast Delivery

Bought this drain body for our shower basement remodel project and it worked perfectly. Shipping was quick and the end product looks great. Grate options were much better than some other options which made this perfect for our new look.

How do I know whether to choose ABS or PVC?

M.H.

It's best to stick with the same material that's already in use to ensure compatibility. Mixing materials can be done with the right transition fittings, but it's generally simpler to use the same type throughout.

How will the weep channels work if instructions call for adjustment ring to be set in thinset mortal filling the weep channels?

M.H.

The tile is set directly to the waterproof membrane using the same thinset that is used to set the adjustment ring. Any water that can migrate through the thinset under the tile will migrate better through the weep channels as it's a thicker section of material. Overall water migration in a sealed system is very low compared to a traditional water in, water out system that requires a 1.5" thick mud bed to constantly weep water.

Will this drain work with a Laticrete Hydro Ban shower pan?

M.H.

Yes, the FFX bond flange is designed with a woven fabric bonding surface that is compatible with a wide range of bonded, surface applied waterproofing membranes, including the Laticrete Hydro Ban shower pan. This encompasses paint-on, liquid applied membranes, and thinset mortar applied sheet membranes. For best results and assurance, we always recommend conducting a 24-hour flood test after application.

What is the overall depth of this drain?

M.H.

The overall height is 2.75" Distance from pipe stop to top of flange is 1.75"

Which drain fits a Kerdi pan and what are the depth dimensions

M.H.

The Traditional Bond Flange Kit is recommended for use with Schluter Kerdi Pans.
The overall height is 2.75"
Distance from pipe stop to top of flange is 1.75"
