plumbing question, drain in old tiled shower?

Sink Strainer Ads

More Info

I just dug up the slab under an old (30 year old) tiled shower, because it was like mud.

My question is about the drain flange. It’s the type that has a liner and then concrete is poured on top of it. once I have the concrete out, and the liner cut away, how should the flange pull out?

is it screwed in? should I be able to uscrew it, or is it something I’ll have to cut?

thanks

    putty under the flange, but in a few weeks it will start to leak again. It is only the left sink basin that leaks and the right side is where I keep standing dish water to soak the dishes, but it has never leaked. I change the water in it sometimes twice daily. I went to Lowe’s and got a solid brass basket and it lasted longer before it also began to drip. I noticed that it was loose to turn on the flange, so this time I tightened it more with a large pair of channel locks. Could that be the problem? that I did not tighten it enough?

      I can’t remove the strainer drain in my kitchen sink to install a disposal flange.
      I have a spanner wrench, but I need to know if there are any tricks to getting the right leveage or what I can to do to get the cupling to move without spinning the whole drain.

      bought. I can’t find a "set" that matches for the new sink. Not even sure how to buy. Are they all just a standard size?
      Please help.

        Is it the plumbers putty placed under the flange lip, or the flat rubber washer on the underside, that is tightened on with the locking nut?I just really need help with this I am not sure how to put this on so it doesn’t leak and I need to get this taken care of very quickly but I am not sure if I am doing everything right.
