Based on the provided reference, the method described applies to pop-up shower drains, not necessarily directly to a shower head drain (which isn't typically removed). Assuming the question refers to removing a pop-up shower drain in order to access and clean it: the process involves unscrewing the top portion and then using a 12-millimeter socket to remove the remaining part.
Here's a breakdown of the steps:
- Unscrew the Top: The top part of the pop-up drain is typically screwed on. You'll need to loosen it, which you can often do by hand. Using a tool (like pliers wrapped with cloth to avoid scratching) may be needed if it's stuck.
- Remove the Upper Mechanism: Once unscrewed, you should be able to lift out the upper mechanism.
- Use a 12mm Socket (Likely): The video mentions using a 12-millimeter socket to remove the remaining portion of the drain. This will likely unscrew the lower part of the drain assembly.
Important Considerations:
- Type of Drain: There are different types of shower drains. This answer is based on the assumption of a pop-up drain. Other types might require different tools or techniques.
- Safety First: Turn off the water supply before attempting any plumbing work.
- Tools: Besides a socket set (with a 12mm socket), you might need pliers, a screwdriver, and potentially penetrating oil if parts are stuck.
- Drain Cleaner: Consider using a drain cleaner after physically removing the drain to clear any remaining debris.
