The most economical method to drain the water from the shower stall is into a floor drain. If a floor drain is not available then the wastewater has to be pumped into a drain receptacle. (commode, sink, bathtub) using an Automatic Drain Assembly (AUDR)

Attached to the sink spout is a Faucet Control Valve FCV-1. The FCV-1 directs the water to
the shower stall or sink. The water temperature is adjusted at the sink then directed to the
shower stall. When the shower stall is not being used, the sink can be used. The FCV-1 does not
have to be removed from the sink. The waste water is automatically pumped into the commode.

Underneath the sink a Tee fitting is inserted into the hot and cold water lines. From the Tee fitting a
hot and cold water line is connected to the shower stall. The water temperature is adjusted in the
shower stall. The waste water is automatically pumped into the commode.

The shower stall water source is from the faucets in a utility room. A "Y" fitting is attached to the faucets. From the "Y"
fitting hot and cold water lines are connected to the shower stall and to the washing machine. The drain water is automatically pump into the drain
standpipe used by the washing machine.
The water temperature is adjusted inside the shower stall.

When ordering any of the above water source setups with the shower stall,
all the hardware and hoses will be furnished with the shower stall.
A plumber is not needed to connect the water source to the shower stall. The only exception would
be the installation of the Tee fittings in figure 3. If you have the tools and are handy, you can
install the Tee fittings.
The connections between the shower stall and drain are made with flexible hoses.
In figures 2 and 3 the drawing shows the waste water being pumped into a commode.
The drain water can be pumped into a sink or a bathtub.
