A floor drain is a plumbing fixture installed in the floor of a structure, designed to remove standing water from the surrounding area and direct it into the drainage system. Floor drains are commonly found in places where water accumulation is likely, such as:
Common Locations:
- Residential Spaces:
- Bathrooms
- Laundry rooms
- Basements
- Commercial and Industrial Settings:
- Kitchens
- Warehouses
- Garages
- Public Facilities:
- Restrooms
- Shower areas
- Swimming pools
Key Components:
- Grate or Cover: The top part, often made of metal or plastic, prevents debris from entering the drain.
- Drain Body: The structure beneath the grate that channels water into the sewer or wastewater system.
- Trap: A curved section of pipe that holds water to prevent sewer gases from escaping into the space.
Purpose:
- Prevent water damage by draining standing water.
- Enhance safety by reducing slip hazards.
- Maintain hygiene by removing wastewater effectively.
Nylon Floor Drain Core
A nylon floor drain core refers to the internal component of a floor drain made primarily of nylon, a durable and lightweight synthetic polymer. This core is a key part of the floor drain assembly and is typically used for its resilience, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness.
SUS 201 Floor Drain
A SUS 201 floor drain is a type of floor drain made from SUS 201 stainless steel, a grade of stainless steel commonly used for applications that require moderate corrosion resistance and durability at a lower cost compared to higher grades like SUS 304 or SUS 316.
Invisible Floor Drain
An invisible floor drain, also known as a concealed floor drain or hidden floor drain, is a modern type of floor drain designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding flooring, making it almost unnoticeable. These drains prioritize aesthetics while maintaining functionality, making them popular in contemporary architecture and interior design.
