Product Details

The Residential Series Linear Shower Drains deliver reliable, cost-effective drainage for home bathrooms and residential construction projects. Designed with the volume buyer in mind — apartment developers, renovation contractors, and residential wholesalers — this series balances performance, ease of installation, and competitive pricing without compromising on essential quality.
Construction and Materials: The Residential Series is manufactured from 304 stainless steel 18/8 grade, containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel as the standard material, providing excellent corrosion resistance for typical indoor bathroom environments. The 304 grade resists rust, water staining, and common household cleaning chemicals, ensuring a service life of 15-25 years in normal residential use. For budget-conscious projects where the bathroom environment is dry and well-ventilated, we also offer a 201 stainless steel economy option. While 201 grade provides adequate performance in mild conditions, it is less resistant to chloride-induced corrosion and may develop surface rust over time in high-humidity bathrooms or coastal locations. We always recommend 304 grade for long-term reliability.
Design Philosophy: The Residential Series prioritizes simplicity and functionality. The standard brushed stainless steel finish provides a clean, modern appearance that complements most bathroom design styles. The integrated hair catcher basket is a key feature — it captures hair, soap scum, and other debris before they enter the plumbing system, reducing the frequency of drain blockages and the need for chemical drain cleaners. The grate lifts out easily without tools, making routine maintenance a quick task that any homeowner can perform.
Performance Specifications: The Residential Series delivers flow rates of 30-40 L/min with the standard 50mm vertical outlet configuration. This is more than adequate for typical residential shower installations, where single shower heads produce flow rates of 8-12 L/min and dual shower heads produce 15-20 L/min. The 50mm water seal depth meets EN 1253 requirements for effective odor prevention, preventing sewer gases from entering the bathroom even during periods of non-use.
Volume Ordering Advantages: The Residential Series is specifically priced and packaged for volume buyers. Orders of 100+ units receive tiered pricing discounts, and orders of 500+ units qualify for our best pricing tier. Each unit is individually packaged in polybag with foam corner protection, suitable for direct distribution to installation sites. Custom packaging with your brand labeling is available for orders of 200+ units at no additional setup cost.

Installation Guide

Installation Methodology for Residential Series Linear Drains:
Step 1 — Preparation: Verify the shower floor dimensions and confirm the drain length 600mm, 800mm, or 1000mm. Check that the plumbing rough-in has the drain outlet positioned correctly for a vertical connection 50mm diameter. Ensure the waterproofing membrane has been applied to the shower floor and walls.
Step 2 — Frame Installation: Position the drain frame in the shower floor, aligning the outlet with the plumbing rough-in. Use the integrated leveling feet to adjust the frame height to match the finished floor level account for tile thickness of 8-10mm plus 3-5mm adhesive bed. The frame should be level in both directions.
Step 3 — Slope Creation: Create the shower floor slope at 1:80 to 1:50 1.25% to 2% toward the drain using tile adhesive or a pre-sloped mortar bed. For renovation projects with limited floor depth, the thin-profile trap body 65mm depth allows installation in floors with as little as 80mm total build-up height.
Step 4 — Tiling: Install tiles with the cut edge toward the drain, maintaining the single-slope gradient. Leave a 2-3mm expansion gap between the tile and the drain frame to accommodate thermal movement.
Step 5 — Completion: After the tile adhesive cures typically 24 hours, remove the protective film, insert the hair catcher basket, and place the grate. Test the installation by running water from the shower head and verifying complete drainage without pooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material options are available for the Residential Series?

The Residential Series is available in two material grades: (1) 304 stainless steel (18/8) — the standard option with excellent corrosion resistance for typical bathroom environments, recommended for all residential applications; (2) 201 stainless steel — an economy option with lower nickel content, suitable for dry, well-ventilated bathrooms in budget projects. While 201 grade is approximately 15-20% less expensive, it is more susceptible to rust in high-humidity or coastal environments. For apartment developments and projects where long-term maintenance access is limited, we strongly recommend 304 grade.

How do I clean and maintain the Residential Series linear drain?

The Residential Series is designed for easy, tool-free maintenance. Weekly or bi-weekly maintenance involves: (1) Lifting the grate by hand (no tools required) — the grate features a small pull tab for easy removal; (2) Removing the integrated hair catcher basket and disposing of accumulated debris; (3) Rinsing the basket and grate under running water; (4) Replacing the basket and grate. For periodic deep cleaning (monthly or quarterly), use a mild liquid detergent and soft-bristle brush to clean the internal channel. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or chlorine-based chemicals that can damage the brushed stainless steel surface. The entire maintenance process takes less than 2 minutes.

What is the minimum order quantity for bulk orders?

Our flexible minimum order quantities are designed to accommodate projects of all sizes: (1) Sample orders: 1-5 units for quality evaluation (free samples, customer pays shipping); (2) Small project orders: 10-99 units at standard pricing; (3) Volume orders: 100-499 units with tiered discount pricing (typically 8-15% discount); (4) Large project orders: 500+ units with our best pricing tier (typically 15-25% discount). For apartment developments and multi-project distributors, we offer annual framework agreements with locked pricing and priority production scheduling. Contact our sales team for a customized quote based on your specific requirements.

Can I get samples before placing a bulk order?

Yes, we provide free samples of the Residential Series for quality evaluation. You can request up to 3 different configurations (e.g., different lengths or material grades). Samples ship within 3-5 business days via express courier (DHL, FedEx, or equivalent). You only need to cover the shipping cost, which is typically $25-45 depending on your location. If you proceed to a bulk order within 60 days, we will credit the shipping cost against your order. Request samples via WhatsApp (+86 189 6430 8076) or through our RFQ form.

How does the Residential Series compare to European brands?

The Residential Series delivers comparable performance to European residential linear drains at approximately 40-60% of the cost. Key performance metrics are equivalent: 50mm water seal (EN 1253 compliant), 30-40 L/min flow rate, and 304 stainless steel construction. The main differences are in finish options (European brands may offer more premium finishes) and brand recognition. For importers and distributors, the Residential Series provides an excellent margin opportunity — typical wholesale pricing allows for 2-3x markup while remaining competitive in most markets.

What packaging options are available for the Residential Series?

Standard packaging is individual polybag with foam corner protection and a cardboard outer box (4-6 units per box). For OEM customers, we offer: (1) Custom printed cardboard boxes with your brand, product information, and barcodes; (2) Multilingual installation instructions and care guides included in each box; (3) Custom foam inserts for premium presentation; (4) Palletized shipping with shrink wrap for container loads (typically 1,000-2,000 units per 40HQ container depending on sizes). Packaging customization is available for orders of 200+ units with no additional setup charges.
