What is U-Drain Slot Drain?
Slot Drain Install Video
U-Drain is a single-slot NON-grated pre-engineered floor slot trench drain and is available in a commercial and residential format in, both, stainless or galvanized steel. U-Drain is the most cost effective, low maintenance drain system on today’s market. This system is used to remove water with a complex grading or other water channeling device. The commercial U-Drain is constructed with a slot opening of 1” and the residential U-drain is constructed with a ½” slot opening. U-drain does not have grating over the top and requires far less maintenance than other styles of pre-engineered trench drains, including drain systems with self-cleaning functions. The absence of grating helps make this single-slot, open floor/surface drain durable, sanitary and cost effective.
