Breaking slab for floor drain

May 17, 2004 3 Replies

I'm putting in a tile shower and I am chipping away the cement slab. I'm going to use a drain like this one

've been using a hammer and chisel, is there an easier way? 4 hours and I'm only half way done. :-(



If I could find a drain that fits inside a 2" PVC pipe, I'd be done so if someone knows where I could get that, please let me know.


Cut edges with circular saw with masonry blade and chip away with electric jackhammer.

Jackhammer, bet used with a masonry saw. Either rent the masonry saw (best) or ue a masonry blade in a circular saw that you're not terribly fond of. Concrete dust eats up a saw quickly.
