Product Information
The GoBoard® FX 4" Adjustable Shower Drain Riser connects the GoBoard Point Drain Body with an FX Designer Series drain grate. It provides the vertical adjustment needed to position the grate at the finished tile elevation within a complete GoBoard shower drain assembly.
A low-visibility grout rim reduces the amount of exposed grout around the drain, creating a refined transition between the square grate and surrounding tile. The riser supports screwless, drop-in FX Designer Series grates for a clean finished appearance.
The included temporary installation plate covers the grate opening while tile work continues, allowing the decorative grate pattern and finish to be selected later. This package includes the FX Riser and temporary plate. The compatible GoBoard Point Drain Body and FX Designer Series drain grate are sold separately.
Common Questions
The GoBoard FX Riser connects the GoBoard Point Drain Body, also called the Universal Drain Body, to an FX Designer Series drain grate. It provides the vertical adjustment needed to align the grate with the finished tile and grout elevation in a GoBoard shower drain assembly.
Part 70008698 includes one GoBoard FX Riser and one temporary drain grate installation plate. The decorative FX Designer Series grate, GoBoard Point Drain Body, waterproofing membrane, and plumbing components are not included. Those items must be selected or purchased separately to complete the shower drain assembly.
The riser is designed for GoBoard FX Designer Series drain grates. These square, screwless drop-in grates are sold separately in multiple patterns and finishes. Do not assume compatibility with standard GoBoard covers or third-party grates unless the selected grate is specifically identified for the GoBoard FX Riser.
The FX Riser connects to the GoBoard Point Drain Body, which is also described as the Universal Drain Body within the system. It is not a universal adapter for unrelated drain brands. Verify that the installed drain body is the compatible GoBoard component before purchasing the riser.
The riser height is adjusted during tile installation so the decorative grate can finish flush with the surrounding tile and grout. Complete the elevation adjustment before the setting materials cure. It is intended for installation-time fine-tuning, not routine height changes after the shower floor is finished.
The included plate temporarily covers the grate position while tile work continues, helping protect the opening and keeping the decorative grate out of the active construction area. It also allows the installer to complete the surrounding tile layout before installing the selected FX grate pattern and finish.
The FX Riser measures approximately 4" × 4". Compatible FX Designer Series grates measure approximately 3.9" × 3.9" and fit inside the riser assembly. Confirm the selected grate and planned grout-joint layout before installation so the finished drain aligns cleanly with the surrounding tile.
No. The FX Riser positions the decorative grate but does not replace the drain body or create the waterproofing connection by itself. A complete shower drain requires the compatible GoBoard Point Drain Body and the prescribed GoBoard waterproofing assembly beneath and around the drain.
