Kohler K-9136-G Clearflo Shower Drain - Easy to Install & Keeps Water Flowing Smoothly

sean: Love this drain used it in a few finishes on project. My tiler has no issues using it. It has a great finished look for the price point and one of the only drains that comes in polished nickel!

Jim B.: Giving it a 4 as it would probably work well on its own if installed as a unit and was nice looking. However, I ended up returning it as I bought this hoping that I could use the top piece with a different tailpiece that a plumber had already installed. The thread was slightly different than other "standard" tailpieces of the same size from other manufacturers.

Emy M.-H.: Nous avons commandé le drain en chrome poli et je le trouve très esthétique. Il va bien avec notre carrelage en céramique et s'agence très bien avec la robinetterie de la salle de bain. Je le recommande à tous. L'installation était hyper facile.

catfish14136: I removed a stupid garden tub and added a walk-in shower, so needed a floor drain, this worked great, just make sure you are careful to install it parallel to your shower walls, so it is not cock-eyed. I was a design engineer for industrial facilities, and the contractor always had trouble aligning the drain parallel to the wall, so I specified a round drain...you can't screwed that up, but tile work is a bit harder....but a home owner has 100% control so go for it.

Teddy: The installation was a breeze and because you can adjust it up and down, the tiles got perfectly leveled with it.

RichardRichard: I chose this drain for our shower remodeling (converted tub to a walk-in shower). The contractors were able to easily install the drain and tile around it. The drain fits in perfect and has a nice look/feel. I really like the ability to remove the top two screws and lift the cover to clean out the inside of the drain.

Two items I don't like about the drain:
1. The holes/squares on the grid are big (I am not even sure how it compares to others - maybe this size is normal
2. I cannot find any square covers to catch hair. The only ones I see are round covers

Overall, it is a solid and well built drain and does the job. No regrets about purchasing it.

Helena Szumilas: Gorgeous color - perfectly matches our brushed gold fixtures by Delta. Received product within two days! Price was far better than if purchased at a hardware store.

Rich D: I purchased this for a custom shower install using square mosaic tile for the shower floor. This is a truly square drain, making tile cutting and placement much easier. Additionally, the drain frame is about ¼" thick (more or less) aluminum or stainless, with a removable and replaceable grid insert (also thick). This is more expensive than the Home Depot & Lowes stamped sheet metal drains that are round (even if you use the square cover). However, it is worth it for the much higher quality and longevity it offers.

The lower assembly is gray PVC of standard pipe sizing. My install was onto an existing standpipe already set into the concrete basement floor. I only needed the upper assembly, and was able to simply unscrew this portion and mate it to a gray PVC adapter (electrical conduit to allow full threadding capability). This allowed me to easily set the depth and square it up by twisting it.

Once set, the gap was filled with thin-set and sealed.

5 stars for this being of much better quality and style than the typical drains out there, and for its versatility.
