What is the length of this specific shower drain?

Troubleshooting

Slow drainage or pooling water

Ensure the shower floor has adequate slope towards the drain. Check the dirt trap and internal grille for blockages and clean them thoroughly. Verify that the main drain pipe is not obstructed.

Drain cover is uneven or wobbly

Re-check the leveling during installation. The adjustable legs may need further adjustment to ensure a stable, flush fit with the surrounding floor.

Unpleasant odors from the drain

The odor may be due to trapped debris in the dirt trap or a dry P-trap in the plumbing. Clean the dirt trap thoroughly and run water to refill the P-trap. Ensure the drain seal is intact.

Stainless steel surface shows discoloration

While stainless steel is resistant, harsh chemicals or prolonged contact with certain metals can cause temporary discoloration. Clean with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive pads.
