Installation tips
- Set the drain pipe height so the grid finishes slightly below the final floor level.
- Use ABS cement for ABS pipe. If you're joining to PVC, use a transition cement or fitting suitable for both.
- Slope the surrounding floor toward the drain so water doesn't pool.
- Protect the grid opening while concrete is poured or tiles are laid.
Maintenance
Lift the grid and remove debris regularly. Run water through drains in rarely used rooms to keep the trap seal full and odours out.
ABS or PVC?
Match the drain to your pipe material. If your system is PVC, the 3"-4" PVC general purpose drain (15322) is the matching option.
