When to Use an Offset Outlet Linear Drain

An offset linear drain is engineered to solve off-center plumbing challenges when the drain outlet does not align with the center of the shower floor. This design provides greater installation flexibility while supporting both curbed and curbless shower layouts.

• Plumbing Around Floor Joists: Ideal when a joist sits directly in the center of the shower opening, eliminating the need for structural notching or drilling.
• Concrete Slab Installations: Commonly used in slab-on-grade showers and remodels where relocating drain plumbing is impractical or cost-prohibitive.
• Existing Side Rough-In: Designed for installations where the drain outlet was previously roughed-in off-center or along the side of the shower.
• Flexible Shower Design: Supports architectural layouts that require water to exit at the end of the channel while maintaining efficient drainage.
• Long-Term Performance: Durable stainless steel construction ensures reliable operation in residential and commercial shower environments.

Pro Tip: Consult a licensed plumber for local code compliance. If plumbing is perfectly centered, a central vertical outlet may be preferred.
