Industrial Floor Gullies
Heavy-duty stainless steel floor gullies for workshops, garages, basements and plant floors. Five-part serviceable design: anti-slip cover, deep body, filter mesh, removable water seal and sealing ring. 304 standard, 201/316 available.
View product →Mechanical Odor Traps (EN 1253-7)
mechanical odor traps designed to EN 1253-7 that automatically seal to prevent sewer gases from entering buildings. Ideal for seldom-used floor drains where water seals may dry out.
View product →Case Study
A hospital construction project in Singapore specified our stainless steel floor drains and mechanical odor traps for surgical suites, laboratories, and patient bathrooms across a 500-bed facility. The cleanable construction and disinfection-resistant material selection met the facility's strict infection control requirements and passed all hygiene inspections.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a drain suitable for healthcare environments?
Healthcare-grade drains must have: (1) smooth, crevice-free internal surfaces that prevent bacterial biofilm formation, (2) chemical-resistant materials (316 stainless steel) that withstand hospital-grade disinfectants, (3) complete drainage without standing water, (4) airtight odor seals to prevent gas transmission, and (5) easy-clean design that supports daily infection control cleaning protocols. Our hygienic drain line is specifically designed to meet all these requirements.
Can your drains be used in operating rooms and surgical suites?
Yes, our hygienic floor drains are suitable for operating rooms and surgical suites. They feature fully welded 316 stainless steel construction with smooth internal geometry, airtight mechanical odor traps, and chemical resistance to hospital-grade disinfectants. The drains can be specified with flush-mounted grates for seamless floor integration and easy cleaning.
Do you provide technical documentation for healthcare project submissions?
Yes, we provide technical documentation for healthcare project submissions, including dimensional drawings, material specifications, installation requirements and performance data from our internal testing. Where independent test reports or certificates are required for your submission, tell us the model and the authority — we will confirm in writing exactly what documentation exists for that model before you specify.
What is the recommended maintenance schedule for healthcare drains?
Healthcare drains should be cleaned daily as part of the facility's infection control cleaning protocol. This includes wiping the grate surface, removing the basket, and rinsing the channel. Weekly deep cleaning should include brushing the channel interior and inspecting the odor trap mechanism. Monthly inspections should verify the integrity of the mechanical seal and the condition of the stainless steel surface. All maintenance activities should be documented per facility requirements.
What surface finish is required for healthcare-grade drains?
Healthcare specifications commonly call for smooth, crevice-minimized internal surfaces to limit bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation — some project specs state a roughness average (Ra) target. Our stainless drains are produced with polished welds and smooth internal geometry as standard fabrication; we do not publish a generic Ra figure for the range. If your project specification states an Ra requirement, send us the spec sheet — we will confirm model by model what our fabrication delivers and what can be verified by measurement on a sample before you commit.
Do you provide validation and commissioning documentation for healthcare facilities?
We can support healthcare project documentation to the extent of what we genuinely hold for the specified model: (1) **Installation documentation** — dimensional drawings, material specifications, surface finish data and installation instructions verifying the product matches the design; (2) **Operational data** — flow performance figures from our internal testing, water seal depth specifications, and mechanical odor trap function descriptions; (3) **On-site support** — where agreed in the contract, our technical team can attend commissioning to support flow testing and visual inspection during facility startup; (4) **Maintenance documentation** — cleaning protocols, inspection schedules, and spare parts lists aligned with your facility's maintenance management system. Important: healthcare projects often require third-party certificates and accredited test reports (for standards such as HTM 04-01 or accreditation-body requirements). We do not claim these generically — before specifying, ask us model by model and we will state in writing exactly which documents exist, which can be commissioned, and which we cannot currently provide.
