Anyone know a source for a shower drain for an acrylic pan to hook up with 2″ copper drain pipe? None of the local suppliers seem to have it. They suggest a rubber sleeve joining pvc to copper with O clamps.

A standardized approach, quick-to-install hardware, and a simplified design make building custom casework cost-effective.

If your talking about a a premade fiberglass shower base- I would stub up the pipe & lead caulk it in.
If you are talking about a pvc shower liner( for a tiled base), I would use a clamp on pvc drain then adapt to copper with a Mission coupling( rubber sleeve with stainles steel cover and clamps).
You would not want to sweat 2" copper directly to a drain conected to plastic.
You cane put a male adapter on it & use the threaded one or like Jay said & caulk it in.
