FAQs of Stainless Steel Mesh Filter Floor Drain
1. What is the structure of a stainless steel mesh filter floor drain?
The core structure includes a 304/316L stainless steel main body, a high-density mesh basket filter, a deodorizing sealing core, and an anti-slip panel.
Plumberstar uses an integrated stamping process, so the main body has no weld joints. The mesh basket filter utilizes a multi-layer woven mesh with optional openings ranging from 1 to 5 mm. Filtration efficiency reaches at least 98%, which effectively traps hair and debris.
The deodorizing core combines a silicone seal with a gravity rebound design. It seals tightly and helps prevent odors from recirculating up the drain. The top panel is available in brushed or mirror finish.
2. What is the filtration accuracy and drainage flow of the stainless steel mesh fitter floor drain?
The Plumberstar stainless steel basket filter floor drain is designed to strike a balance between filtration and drainage, making it effective in various real-world situations.
- Filtration accuracy: There are four common mesh options: 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm. The basket is made from 304 stainless steel with a multi-layer woven mesh, utilizing wire diameters of approximately 0.3–0.5 mm.
Each mesh size fits a clear use case.
1 mm is for places like hospitals and food factories, where very fine debris needs to be stopped. 2 mm works best in bathrooms, where hair and fibers are the main issue. 3 mm suits kitchens, catching vegetable scraps and small food waste. 5 mm is used in swimming pools, basements, or utility areas to block stones and larger particles.
- Drainage flow rate: Drainage capacity is clearly defined by pipe size and is well above standard requirements.
DN50 (2 inch): ≥1.2 L/s, with peak test results up to 1.4 L/s. This is far higher than the 0.3 L/s minimum in GB/T 27710-2020 and better than the typical 1.0 L/s seen in similar products. It works well for bathrooms and balconies, with no water buildup in showers. DN75 (3 inch): ≥2.5 L/s, suitable for kitchens and small pools, where water needs to drain quickly. DN100 (4 inch): ≥4.0 L/s, designed for large pools, basements, malls, and other high-flow areas.
3. How does the mesh fitter floor drain deodorize, anti-blocking, and insect-proof?
The Plumberstar stainless steel net basket filter floor drain uses a triple-protection integrated design that combines deodorization, anti-blocking, and insect prevention in one system.
- Deodorization performance: The drain is equipped with a food-grade silicone sealing core that combines a gravity-rebound mechanism with a water-seal structure. For dry applications, it also incorporates magnetic adsorption and mechanical closure. The water seal depth is ≥50 mm, and the seal leakage rate is ≤0.01 m³/h.
- Anti-blocking performance: Optional apertures from 1 mm to 5 mm achieve an interception rate of ≥98%, accurately capturing hair, food residues, and other debris. Thanks to an optimized internal flow channel, the effective drainage diameter is about 30% larger than that of many competing products. The basket can be removed without tools in around 30 seconds, making cleaning fast and simple.
- Insect prevention performance: Compared with the single-layer protection, the smallest mesh size of the basket is only 1 mm, and when closed, the sealing core fits tightly against the valve body with no gaps, delivering 100% insect-blocking effectiveness. This design avoids issues such as insect intrusion after basket damage or leakage through sealing gaps.
4. Can a stainless steel net basket filter floor drain be customized the size?
Plumberstar stainless steel mesh basket filter floor drains support full-size customization. We can adjust all key dimensions based on your actual installation needs.
Customizable size range
- Floor drain panel: length, width, and diameter for square or round panels
- Main body height and installation depth
- Drain interface diameter
- Mesh basket size, depth, and filter aperture
Structure and installation adaptation customization: Besides basic sizes, we can also adjust the structure for different scenes, including kitchens, bathrooms, balconies, engineering drainage, and commercial areas. This ensures accurate installation, smooth drainage, and stable performance in odor prevention and insect control.
Mass production and sample support: After you provide drawings or specific parameters, Plumberstar can make samples first for your confirmation. We only start mass production when samples pass testing. This makes sure the customized size fits your real installation environment perfectly.
5. How to track the production progress of the mesh filter floor drain?
Plumberstar offers full-process visual tracking for stainless steel mesh filter floor drain batch orders. From contract signing to final delivery, customers can follow every key step and stay updated in real time.
- Production Schedule Confirmation: Within 3 working days after the contract is signed, we will provide a clear production schedule. This schedule is sent via email and serves as a reference for order tracking.
- Ongoing Production Updates: During production, we send progress updates twice a week by email. These include workshop photos, such as material inspection, valve body processing, and basket filter weaving. Allows customers to clearly see the progress of their order.
- Logistics Tracking After Shipment: After shipment, we immediately provide the tracking number by email. We support DHL, FedEx, UPS, and other major carriers. Packing lists and scanned shipping documents are shared at the same time. We also assist customers in tracking the shipment until delivery. If there are delays, damage, or other logistics issues, our team follows up and helps resolve them throughout the process.
6. What are the payment terms of the mesh fitter floor drain?
For international orders of Plumberstar stainless steel mesh filter floor drains, we offer flexible payment options to suit different cooperation models and reduce cross-border trade risks.
- T/T (Telegraphic Transfer): This follows the standard industry practice of 30% deposit + 70% balance before shipment. Production starts after the deposit is received. Before delivery, customers can check product quality through video inspection or photos. The remaining balance is paid after confirmation, ensuring fund security for both parties.
- L/C at Sight: We accept sight letters of credit issued by major international banks. This option is suitable for large-volume orders or first-time cooperation, as it provides strong payment security and lowers trade risk.
- For long-term partners with annual order volumes of 5,000 pieces or more, we also offer price locking and flexible billing terms. This helps improve cash flow and supports stable, long-term cooperation.
7. Why choose Plumberstar mesh fitter floor drain?
The core competitiveness of Plumberstar manufacturer is embodied in the three dimensions of “process, protection, and adaptation”:
- Integrated stamping process, no welding breakpoints (Most competitors are welded and are easy to corrode and leak), and the strength of the valve body is increased by 40%.
- Triple protection design (high-precision filtration + silica gel deodorization + anti-skid panel), the anti-blocking, deodorizing, and anti-skid effects are far superior to those of competitors only do basic filtration.
- Strong scenario customization capabilities, with size and material options available, enable customization of up to 300 pieces. The delivery cycle is ≤25 days, making it suitable for small and medium-sized orders in foreign trade. In contrast, competitors generally have a customization threshold of more than 1000 pieces.
8. Can the mesh fitter floor drain handle heavy foot traffic without damage?
Our stainless steel mesh filter floor drain’s resistance to trampling is ensured through a combination of high-strength materials and a reinforced structural design.
Mortise-and-tenon welded structure. The stainless steel panel and filter basket are connected using a mortise-and-tenon welding method. This creates a stable, integrated structure that resists deformation and loosening under repeated pressure.
The reinforced stainless steel panel works together with the internal filter to distribute pressure evenly when stepped on. This reduces point stress and prevents dents or surface deformation.
The tight mechanical connection between the filter basket and the drain body prevents displacement or loosening, even under heavy loads or continuous trampling.
