How is U-drain Installed?
U-drain is constructed from galvanized steel for long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance. With a standard zinc thickness of 3.9 mils, it’s rated to last up to 73 years before showing even 5% rust (see White Paper for details).
LONG LASTING
All stainless steel U-drain products are made from high quality 304 Stainless Steel. For applications that deal with highly corrosive drainage and/or sanitary concerns where bacteria buildup must be prevented, stainless steel provides unmatched performance and durability.

EASY TO MAINTAIN
U-drain's grate-free, clean-in-place design is ideal for food processing, breweries, wineries, and pharmaceutical facilities. Simply use the cleaning paddle to move solids to the sump, activate the flush nozzle, then insert the rubber drain stop to fill the system with sanitizing solution.
SANITARY DRAINAGE
U-drain’s single slot intake minimizes bacteria buildup and stays clean for longer than traditional grated drains. Unlike conventional drains with multiple components where bacteria and food particles can be trapped, U-drain's design reduces bacteria, food particles and moisture that can accumulate.
