Home / Products / Floor grates & drains
Stainless floor grates and channel drains, made to the trench you have.
Channel drains, floor wastes, bucket traps and heavy-duty grates fabricated in 304 or 316 stainless to the exact length, fall and load rating your floor needs. Made for kitchens, wash-down bays, dairies and processing plants.
The range
Grates, channels and wastes for floors that get hosed.
Off-the-shelf drains come in fixed lengths and a handful of widths. Yours can be one welded run with the outlet where the plumber needs it, the fall built in and a grate that suits how the floor is used.
Floor wastes & bucket traps
Square and round floor wastes with a removable basket and a heavy grate for kitchens and wash-down areas.
Heavy-duty grates
Bar and slot grates in thicker stainless for forklift and pallet-jack traffic in plants and dairies.
Replacement grates
New grates cut to fit existing channels and pits, in the pattern and load rating you need.

Questions
Common questions about stainless steel floor grates and drains.
Can you match an existing channel?
Yes. Send a photo and the internal width, depth and length and we make a grate or a whole channel to fit, including odd lengths and angled ends.
What grate pattern should I use?
Slotted and bar grates drain fastest and suit kitchens and wash-down floors; heel-safe patterns suit public areas; solid bar grates in thicker stainless suit forklift traffic. We will suggest one from how the floor is used.
Do you supply the outlet fittings?
The channel comes with a spigot or bucket-trap outlet sized to the plumber's drain. Connection to the drainage is by the plumber.
