A center-drain pan, sometimes called a standard drain pan, slopes to a waste in the center. It is the baseline layout when the plumbing riser is centered and the drawings do not call for a trench or a corner waste.

The drain location has to match the rough-in. A center drain quote should not be used for a corner waste without a note that plumbing will move.

Where it is specified

  • Alcove showers with a centered riser
  • Unit baths paired with a three-wall surround
  • Plans that mark a center waste

Named sizes

Sheets that match this layout.

Sizes are included when a manufacturer sheet uses this drain or shape. Anything else is custom and needs the plan dimensions.

Named sizes from manufacturer sheets. A drawing that does not match a row is a custom pan.

Confirm before pricing

  • Another manufacturer summary names nine pan configurations: standard, trench, ADA, roll-in, and custom, without printing this size list. The sizes above come from the sheet index that was reviewed.
  • No ADA pan width or depth was published. The only roll-in sheet grouped with transfer pans is “Custom Roll In Shower Pan With Ramp,” which has no dimensions. Send the accessible layout from the drawings. This site does not publish an ADA certificate.
  • Neo-angle and reversible pans remain request types. They were not given named sizes on the sheets reviewed. A rectangular corner or offset pan is not a neo pan.
  • BrookCast is the sheet name. Americast is the porcelain-enameled steel name on the same page. Confirm which name the specification uses.
  • AFR and “low profile” are not defined with a threshold dimension on the page.
  • Pan colors named: Bright White, Cameo White, Marstone Cream, and Ivory. Optional: Light Gray and Putty.
  • Decorative stainless drain covers in black matte or powder coat are named as an upgrade. Cover size was not published.
