    What is the proper size for the shower drain? And what is the proper size for Kitchen sink?
    Bathroom sink?

    I assume you the drain size request you mean the actual PVC pipes.

    The shower drain should be 2" and the kitchen sink should be 1 1/2", the vanity sink can be either 1 1/4" or 1 1/2. ( 1 1/2" is the better option).
    Little about a lot and a lot about a little.

      2" is the correct size for the shower drain however the sink drain line would depend upon which code you are under.

      Under the IRC (International Residential Code) a kitchen sink requires an 1-1/2" drain line.

      Under the UPC (Uniform Plumbing Code) a kitchen sink waste arm (the section extending out of the wall) should be 1-1/2" but all concealed piping in the wall must be 2".
