First off, linear drains have been out of the price range for the average home owner for the past decade, models usually range from 150-600 bucks in pro shops. I am revamping all of the showers in the properties I manage and I have installed a couple hundred linear drains so far at an astronomical cost until I found this little drain (12" long and 4" wide, nominal) and it works better than other brand name drains costing 5-6 times more!
Did you see where I mentioned READ THIS FIRST! in the title? Here's why. Look at any of the sub-5 star ratings for this drain. What do they have in common? The purchasers didn't read the description and they don't understand that ALL plumbing is modular. If you buy a sink, do you expect the P-trap to come with? Nope, just the drain, same here, just the drain pipe, you need to buy the PVC drain and the gasket just like you would for ANY linear drain.
Here is the good news, Amazon has the parts you need, and they are pretty darn cheap! First, the PVC floor drain, this one is an Oatey 42213 PVC Drain. They run about $10 bucks each. The second part you need is the gasket. Yes, you can pay 50 bucks or more buying a fancy set with gasket and drain, but why? Here is the BAI 0583 Rubber Gasket For Linear Drains, it runs about 7 bucks delivered on Amazon.
This linear shower drain is a steal for the price! I attached a couple pictures of the floor drain and the gasket, nothing special here folks, a little silicone grease to help the stainless steel pipe to slip into the gasket and you are golden!
