What drain for shower pan on concrete?

I have a Delta shower pan ready to install on a concrete floor. It says it uses a "Uses standard shower drain with 4-1/4 in. strainer" . I have a 2" ABS pipe connected to the P-trap and requisite drains under the concrete (inspected and approved) sticking up a foot.
I'm ready to install this pan but need to buy the right drain that I can install on the pan and connect to the drain line, and "standard shower drain" isn't quite enough information. What I DON'T want is some drain that I have to install on the pan as it goes down and try to glue it to the drain line all at once. Not only would that be difficult, but without giving the pipe a twist it wouldn't glue right.
Can someone point me to a drain that will install and seal from the top after the pan is bedded in?

Either way if you use one that glues or one with a gasket it should go on the pan first. I am assuming it is a fiberglass or acrylic shower pan. Something like this.

that is what i would use. you can try out the fit before you structolite it down.

I concur with SHEPLMBR's pick. The brass drain is far superior to any plastic drain fitting.
Any good plumber would have the castle tool to tighten the fitting from the top, but the tiny piece of metal to use for tightening that they ship with the drain could /will easily fall into the drain, so shove a rag down as a safety plug and pull out after tightening.
Dry fit first to check centerline perfection and don't be suprised if your stub up is imperfect.

How does that drain seal to the ABS? A rubber ring?

you bet. i use the glue ones if you have access underneath but if you are doing concrete under the pan and you can save 10 bucks for the next 30 years of perfection that is quite a gamble

Go with the Jones or Oatey drain, you won't be sorry. They both work the same way.
