Gasket
Price range: $11.95 through $14.95
In a curbless shower installation, waterproofing isn’t just about the membrane on the walls or the slope of the pan; it starts at the drain. And at the drain, the drain gasket is the component that creates the critical seal between the drain assembly and your existing plumbing pipe.
Get the right one. The standard gasket supplied with the VIM drain kit is designed to work with standard 2” PVC and 2” ABS pipes.
Five Styles to Match Your Existing Plumbing
This is where the VIM shower gasket stands apart from a one size fits all generic option: it’s available in the specific material and size configuration that matches your drain pipe, ensuring a proper, leak-resistant seal every time.
Choose from five styles:
- 2″ PVC/ABS Gasket (Included): The most common configuration in residential new construction
- 2″ Copper Gasket: Often found in older homes
- 2″ Cast Iron Gasket: Common in older construction and commercial applications
- 2″ x 1.1/2″ PVC/ABS Gasket: A reducing gasket for installations where our 2″ drain assembly connects to a 1.1/2″ PVC/ABS pipe
- 2″ x 1.1/2″ Copper Gasket: A reducing gasket for installations where our 2″ drain assembly connects to a 1.1/2″ copper pipe
If you’re unsure which style matches your installation, VIM’s technical support team can help you identify the right fit before you order, at no charge.
Why Material Compatibility Matters
A curbless shower gasket has one job: create a watertight seal between the drain cup and the drain pipe below. That seal is only as reliable as the compatibility between the gasket material and the pipe it’s seating against.
The VIM level entry shower gasket is purpose matched to the LES Drain Assembly, so when you select the right style for your pipe type, you can trust that everything fits and seals as designed. Since launching in 2012, our Level Entry Shower System™ has had zero reported system failures, and proper gasket selection is part of that track record.
Part of a Complete, Integrated Drain System
The gasket doesn’t work in isolation; it’s one component in VIM’s fully engineered drain assembly system. If you need everything at once, the VIM Drain Kit includes the gasket along with every other component required to complete the full assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which gasket style to order?
Match the gasket to your existing drain pipe material (PVC/ABS, Copper, or Cast Iron) and diameter (2″ or 1.1/2″). If you’re unsure, contact VIM’s support team, and they’ll help you identify the right style.
Is this gasket included in the VIM Drain Kit?
Yes. A Drain Gasket designed to work with 2” PVC/ 2” ABS pipe is included in the complete VIM Drain Kit.
Can I use a generic gasket from a hardware store?
We strongly recommend against it. Generic gaskets may not be sized or shaped to seat correctly within the VIM LES Drain Assembly, which can compromise the watertight seal.
