Stainless steel floor drains can ensure clean indoor air, and high-quality stainless steel floor drains can effectively block odors. There are many types of stainless steel floor drains on the market, but few can truly prevent odors. If the floor drain fails to prevent leakage, it will pollute the home environment and endanger the health of the family. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the stainless steel floor drain before purchasing.

What are the features of stainless steel floor drains

It features excellent mechanical properties, made of stainless steel with a tensile strength greater than 530N/mm, which is twice that of galvanized pipes, three to four times that of copper pipes, and eight to ten times that of PPR pipes. Ductility and toughness.

2. Excellent wear resistance. Stainless steel floor drains are wear-resistant. The water flow rate at the end of the nozzle can reach over 60 meters per second, and its service life still exceeds 100 years.

3. Excellent corrosion resistance. The thin and dense chromium-rich oxide film on the surface is a stainless steel floor drain with excellent corrosion resistance.

4. Excellent temperature resistance: Stainless steel floor drains have excellent temperature resistance. Even when working for a long time at temperatures ranging from -270℃ to 400℃, no harmful substances will precipitate regardless of high or low temperatures, and the material properties are very stable.

5. It is conducive to conserving water resources. Stainless steel floor drains can effectively reduce the possibility of water leakage caused by external forces, lower the leakage rate, and effectively protect and utilize water resources.

2. Classification of Stainless steel floor drains

Traditional water-sealed floor drain

The problem with this type of floor drain: Advantages: It is cheap and widely used in the products provided by builders of empty houses. Disadvantages: Poor self-cleaning ability, prone to clogging, and difficult to clean. Slow drainage

2. Floor drain with eccentric blocks

The sealing gasket sealed by the principle of gravity eccentricity is fixed on one side with a pin and a lead block. This structure was initially horizontal and later evolved into vertical and water-sealed vertical structures. When draining water, the gasket opens under the action of water pressure. After the drainage is completed, the gasket closes under the weight of the lead block.

3. Spring-type floor drain

Seal by stretching the gasket at the lower end of the sealing core with a spring. When there is no water or very little water in the local leak, the gasket will be stretched upward by the spring to close the pipe. When the water in the drain reaches a certain height and the weight of the water exceeds the elastic force of the spring, the spring will press the water downward, open the gasket, and the drain will be automatically discharged.

4. Magnetite floor drain

The structure of this floor drain is similar to a spring type and is sealed by the magnetic attraction force of two magnets. When the water pressure is greater than the magnetic force, the gasket opens to discharge downward. After the drainage is completed, the water pressure drops. When the drainage pressure is less than the magnetic force, the magnetic block is attracted and the gasket is pulled upwards.

5. Gravity floor drain

No water seal is required, no external force such as springs or magnets is used, and the balance between the gravity of the water flow and the internal float ball of the floor drain is used to automatically open and close the sealing cover. This mode is similar to the spring type, except that it converts elastic force into buoyancy to drive mechanical tensile force.

6. Silicone floor drain

Seal it with two thin pieces of silicone or a silicone bag with an open bottom. During the drainage period, the bottom of the silicone was washed away with water. After the drainage is completed, the bottom of the silicone will automatically adhere due to its own elasticity, and the residual moisture will cause openings, thereby achieving the deodorization effect.

The stainless steel floor drain is characterized by strong corrosion resistance, which is conducive to water conservation and has excellent mechanical properties.
