This invention relates to a floor drain and methods for its installation, more specifically to a floor or shower drain having two sets of weep holes and to a method for its installation. Conventional drains generally in use today have only one set of weep holes to drain water which may seep down to a water impervious pan. As a result, if the shower stall is installed improperly, water may seep out and cause extensive water damage. The invention relates to a shower drain installation which will be effective in preventing water damage even if the subfloor is not ideally suited for promoting drainage in a shower.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The foregoing and other objects and advantages of the invention are achieved through the use of a double weep hole drain in accordance with the invention.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the double weep hole drain consists of three (3) pieces: a lower portion, a center portion, and an upper portion.
The three (3) portions, along with two (2) pieces of shower pan material, fold together to form a weep hole drain.
Weep holes are provided at the bottom of both the center portion and the upper portion.
In using the double weep hole drain, an intermediate and sloped flooring is provided between the subfloor and the finish floor.
