Quick answer
Height. The spacer width doesn't change. QuickDrain spacers stack, and you break off sections until you reach the right height. If your tile plus thinset is under 7/8", the stacked spacers work. Over 7/8", use metal spacers.
| Tile + thinset thickness | Use |
|---|---|
| Under 7/8" | Standard stacked spacers (break off to height) |
| Over 7/8" | ProLine metal spacers |
Lost a few, or checking a kit before install? The number of spacers depends on the length of the drain body. Find your drain body part number below.
| Spacers | ShowerLine drain bodies | ProLine drain bodies |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | PVC2430D15, PVC2430D20, PVC3240D20 | PLD26-N, PLD27.5-N, PLD30-N, PLD33-N, PLD36-N |
| 6 | PVC4048D20, PVC4856D20 | PLD40-N, PLD44-N, PLD46-N, PLD48-N, PLD52-N |
| 8 | PVC5664D20, PVC6472D20 | PLD57-N, PLD63-N, PLD68-N |
Good to know
Measure the combined thickness of your tile and thinset before ordering. That one number decides between standard and metal spacers.
No. The sizes are heights. The width stays the same.
When your tile plus thinset is more than 7/8" thick.
A PLD48-N drain body uses 6 spacers.
