Default Shower tray waste outlet fixing

Bought item 10374 from BES:

http://www.bes.co.uk/products/126.asp

and it comes with a black rubber sealing gasket (not clearly shown in
the illustration).

Should this go between the upper part of the chrome fitting and the top
of the shower tray

OR

below clamping between the underside and the back nut?

Currently have it on the underneath the tray, but am looking at the
finish of the tray on the underside and it is rough as a'holes! Tis a
stone resin jobbie.

Hope you guys can help?


Was quite a few years since I fitted mine, which was a MacAlpine shower
trap. Still got the instructions, and they quite clearly show the gasket
*under* the tray.

Can't remember for sure, but I probably bedded the top onto a thin bead of
Plumbers Mate. I don't like the idea of even a little moisture getting to
the layering of the resin in the edges of the hole, IYSWIM.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Cordless Crazy
saying something like:

Underneath, tiny smear of gunge.

Try a different new post so that some may see your query, the old one
came up under your shower drain query. No use just changing the title as
a lot of readers will treat it as the same thread, depending on
settings.
