Why a square drain?
- Lines up neatly with square tiles
- Works with a standard four-way slope to the centre
- Easy to clean with a lift-out grate
- Typically simpler and cheaper to install than a linear drain
Before you buy
- Confirm the outlet size of your drain pipe.
- Measure the existing drain opening if you're replacing one.
- Decide where the drain will sit: usually the centre of the shower floor.
Installation tips
- Connect the drain body to the outlet pipe.
- Set the top just below the finished tile height.
- Waterproof around the drain carefully. This is where most shower leaks start.
- Slope the floor toward the drain from all sides.
- Tile and grout around the grate.
Maintenance
Lift the grate regularly to clear hair and soap. If water drains slowly, clean the trap below with a drain snake.
