2" No-Caulk Shower Module Drain

Sioux Chief 827-2B – 2" Brass No-Caulk Shower Module Drain with Stainless Steel Strainer

The Sioux Chief 827-2B is a no-caulk shower module drain designed for fast, code-compliant installations in tile shower bases or pre-formed modules. Constructed with a solid brass body and stainless steel snap-in strainer, this drain offers a secure mechanical seal over 2" Schedule 40 DWV pipe without the use of solvent cement or caulking compounds.

This unit is engineered for applications where solvent welding is impractical or restricted. The elastomer gasket, outer compression ring, and locknut assembly create a positive seal, making the 827-2B a preferred solution for both remodels and new construction where time savings and performance are critical.

Application and Performance Attributes

• ✅ No-Caulk Connection Method – Designed for compression seal installation onto 2" Schedule 40 ABS or PVC DWV pipe.
• ✅ Solid Brass Drain Body – Cast brass construction offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance in wet environments.
• ✅ 4-1/4" Snap-In Strainer – Stainless steel finish, removable for access and service.
• ✅ Elastomer Sealing Gasket – Forms a mechanical seal around pipe with minimal tools and effort.
• ✅ Compression Locknut Design – Includes spanner wrench to securely torque the locknut in place, reducing chance of leaks.

Installation Guidelines

Designed for vertical installations in shower bases where access to the pipe riser is available. Ensure pipe is cut square and free from burrs prior to inserting through gasket. Apply downward pressure while tightening the locknut using the included tool or standard spanner wrench. Drain body should be flush with shower base and strainer seated level.

Installation should be performed in accordance with local plumbing codes. This drain is best suited for skilled tradespeople familiar with DWV system layouts and compression-seal fittings.

Field Applications

Commonly used in commercial multi-family, hospitality, and residential construction. Ideal for fiberglass, acrylic, and molded shower modules requiring a no-caulk interface. Also appropriate for code-approved conversions and shower base replacements where solvent-weld access is limited.

Component Overview

• ✅ Brass Flanged Body – Machined to accept standard snap-in strainers and maintain tight tolerances.
• ✅ Removable Stainless Strainer – Allows post-installation cleaning or replacement without disturbing the drain body.
• ✅ Sealing Gasket + Locknut – Captures pipe between elastomer and locking ring for watertight integrity.
• ✅ Included Wrench – Facilitates correct torque during final fitment.

Professional Considerations

The Sioux Chief 827-2B is manufactured for high-volume installations requiring rapid turnover and long-term reliability. When installed correctly, it eliminates the need for solvent welds while maintaining a watertight seal under normal shower use. Recommended for use by licensed professionals and skilled installers.
