BENEFITS
SLEEK & LOW-PROFILE DESIGN
- Once your concrete has been poured, U-drain™ is fully encased, only the slot is visible. This provides a sleek finish.
- U-drain™ has no grates to get clogged and dirty looking, making it an excellent choice for garage floor drainage, poolside drainage, patio drainage and more.
EASY TO MAINTAIN
- There are no grates in the floor drainage system to plug, remove and clean. The intake of the drain is its simple slot.
- If the floor drain could use a cleaning, simply insert the cleaning paddle and run it along the length of the drain to the sump pit.
- The U-drain™ features a sump pit that is designed to be plumbed out to either a weeping tile or some other form of drainage so that all drain water is disposed of efficiently.
SAFE DRAINAGE FOR FOOT TRAFFIC
- Residential U-drain™ has an ADA compliant 1/2" slot opening.
- Residential U-drain™ sits flush with the floor surface and does not pose a tripping hazard for foot traffic.
- U-drain™ floor drain systems can be safely used in warehouse stores, parkades, amusement parks and other high traffic areas.

Residential U-drain™ features an ADA compliant 1/2" wide single-slot intake that is both efficient and good-looking. There are no ugly grates getting clogged and needing to be removed and cleaned. The single-slot floor drain is low-profile, blending into the surface material for a clean look in your garage or other and does not pose a hazard to foot traffic. There is not a more modern and sleek looking floor drain system on the market.

SIMPLE BOLT-TOGETHER ASSEMBLY
U-drain™ is a simple and efficient bolt-together system. Each individual section has flanges on the ends with bolt patterns that coincide with the applicable connecting flange. This makes for a simple assembly process.

EASY TO INSTALL
Residential U-drain™ is easy to install. Lay the sump pit into the trench dug for it and begin by bolting the first floor drain section to the pit. Each drain section is leveled using our E-Z Mount Brackets. A rebar length is pounded into the ground through the slot in the bracket. Once the rebar is firm and below the top floor, the drain section can be leveled up or down. Once the desired drain level is achieved, simply tighten the bracket's set screw against the rebar in order to keep the drain's position. Once all sections are bolted together, close off the opening of the drain with an End Cap. Lastly, connect your floor rebar grid to the U-drain™ using the tie-ins located on each drain section. It REALLY is that simple!

MINIMAL MAINTENANCE
U-drain™ is a trench floor drain with NO GRATES. This drastically minimizes the maintenance the drain requires with no grates to regularly remove, clean and eventually replace. To clean out U-drain™ you simply take our Cleaning Paddle, insert the paddle through the slot intake, twist it 90° so that the paddle itself is across the trench. Slide the paddle along the drain to clean out and push any debris towards and into the sump pit. That's all it takes.

DURABLE DESIGN
Residential U-drain™ is designed for long-lasting performance. Both our Galvanized and Stainless Steel finishes prevent erosion and rust even in humid climates (see White Paper). Residential U-drain™ is CSA certified in both Canada and the United States and has been tested and classified as Extra-Heavy Duty (CSA B79-08) or Special Duty (ASME 112.6.3) which means it can handle safe live loads that exceed 10,000 lbs or 1,040 psi. U-drain™ is designed to channel weight directly into the concrete surrounding it, making it as strong as your concrete slab.
