Why stainless floor drains?

We offer the most complete, hygienic drainage solutions available. Made in the USA from T304 or 316L stainless steel, our products have radius corners that make cleaning easy.

Stainless is sanitary

A drainage system's design must:

  • Prevent odors from the drainage system through dried traps, and reduce blockages.
  • Maintain an adequate drainage gradient to direct waste into the main sewer network (or central plant).
  • Connect sanitary fixtures to the main drainage lines directly — not through a floor trap or other fixtures.

You can trust our drains to meet sanitary standards worldwide, with a variety of sizes and top grate/cover options to fit your needs.

Stainless is clean & green

100% recyclable, and a fit for LEED-certified projects. Stainless steel is often the most cost-effective choice thanks to better life-cycle costs: a much longer service life, less maintenance than other materials, and high scrap value when decommissioned.

Its natural durability and appealing appearance make it ideal for facilities that prioritize hygiene, safety and visibility. Applications that handle chemicals, detergents and other harsh substances benefit most. Stainless provides a superior sanitary surface — which is why it's the standard for commercial kitchens, processing plants and anywhere hygiene is critical.
