Drain Cup used in LES Drain Assembly.
The Foundation of a Leak Free Shower Drain
Every curbless shower installation comes down to one thing: the drain has to work perfectly. And at the heart of the VIM drain assembly is the drain cup, the structural core that connects your shower pan to your plumbing and keeps water moving exactly where it belongs.
The VIM Drain Cup is engineered specifically for the LES Drain Assembly, which means it fits right, seals right, and performs right, every time.
What the Drain Cup Does
The drain cup for LES shower installation serves as the primary housing component of the drain assembly. Think of it as the vessel that everything else connects to; the gasket seats against it, the adjuster threads into it, and the grate retainer locks on top of it to complete the assembly.
Here’s why our drain cup matters:
- Watertight fit: The drain cup is designed to turn a fall into position precisely so the stainless steel attachment screws automatically line up, ensuring a secure, leak resistant assembly
- Structural integrity: It’s a solid, substantial component designed to handle the demands of a working shower drain for the long haul
- Part of a proven system: The drain cup for LES showers is designed alongside the Gasket, Adjuster, and Grate Retainer as a complete, integrated drain solution
- Ease of final drain connection: Our drain system is designed so the final pan to drainpipe connection is accessible from the top, eliminating the need to make cuts in the ceiling below the shower
Designed to Work Within the VIM System
VIM Products built the Level Entry Shower System from the ground up; every component, including the drain assembly, was engineered to work together as a single, cohesive system. That’s a meaningful difference from piecing together a drain assembly from generic hardware components.
When you order a VIM drain cup for showers, you’re getting a part that was designed by the same master plumber and tile setter who created the world’s first curbless shower pan system. The tolerances are right. The materials are right, and VIM’s technical team is always available to help answer any questions you have during your install.
