FAQs
1. Why choose a cost iron body for W/Round Brass Grate Strainer Floor Drain?
Plumberstar W/Round Brass Grate Strainer Floor Drain uses a cast iron housing. It combines reliable load capacity and good durability for outdoor use. ABS, PVC, and other plastic housings cannot match cast iron for stiffness and impact resistance. It also performs better than thin metal shells and will not deform easily under heavy weights. Cast iron has a linear expansion coefficient around 9.2–11.8×10⁻⁶/°C.
The cast iron housing stands up well to water erosion and corrosion. It works where large amounts of sediment and waste flow through the drain. The inner cavity is cast as one whole piece with smooth surfaces and no sharp bumps. It withstands constant water flow and avoids partial wear and damage.
We apply standard epoxy anti-corrosion coating both inside and outside at the factory. Dry film thickness is controlled from 60 to 120 μm. Cast iron has considerable weight. The whole drain will not shift under strong water impact. This reduces leaks that happen when the drain moves and pulls away from the waterproof layer.
2. What are the advantages of the side-outlet W/Round Brass Grate Strainer Floor Drain?
Plumberstar Side Outlet Floor Drain with Round Brass Grate Strainer works best for building sites with limited pipe space. Traditional bottom outlet floor drains need enough vertical space below the floor. This side outlet design lets pipes run horizontally. It only requires a minimum vertical installation clearance of 80 mm. It fits thin floor slabs perfectly, along with bathroom and balcony renovation projects where the sunken area is too shallow.
The side outlet can rotate 360 degrees to connect with drain pipes freely. You need fewer elbows, and water flows with less resistance. When using pipes of the same size, the drainage speed is around 16% higher than setups with many extra elbows. It helps prevent temporary standing water. The unit combines a cast-iron body and a brass grate. It offers solid load performance while keeping a neat look.
The side flow channel uses a streamlined shape. Fewer dead spaces trap sediment and hair. You can lift the round brass grate straight up to clear waste. There is no need to take apart the horizontal pipes underneath. This side outlet structure lowers the chance of water backflow. You may also add an optional anti-odor core to stop bad smells rising from the drainage pipes.
3. What is the warranty of the W/Round Brass Grate Strainer Floor Drain?
Plumberstar W/Round Brass Grate Strainer Floor Drain offers separate warranty coverage for different parts. The brass grate carries a 3-year warranty. When installed correctly and used for regular cleaning of wastewater in residential and commercial spaces, we cover cases of large-scale peeling and serious rust formation. The cast iron main housing has a 5-year warranty. This warranty only applies to original manufacturing faults. It does not cover faulty installation, long-term exposure to strong acid or alkaline chemicals, or damage from external impact and crushing. If small batch quality problems are confirmed, we will propose an initial solution within 24 hours. We can arrange returns, replacements, or compensation on future orders according to the actual situation. For large-scale product issues, we will arrange for engineers to visit the site within 72 hours after verification and provide practical solutions.
4. What coatings are available for the W/Round Brass Grate Strainer Floor Drain?
The W/Round Brass Grate Strainer Floor Drain is made up of two separate parts: a cast iron body and a brass grate. You may choose coatings and surface finishes for each part independently. The standard cast iron housing uses grey epoxy paint on the outside and black bitumen anti-corrosion coating inside. You can upgrade to black epoxy topcoat or heavy-duty epoxy coal tar pitch coating. Polished chrome and brushed nickel are standard treatments for the brass grate. Extra options include matte black, gunmetal grey, and antique bronze. Before spraying, the cast iron housing goes through sandblasting to remove rust, degreasing, and drying steps. Regular epoxy coating maintains a dry film thickness of 60–90μm. Bitumen coating ranges from 80–120μm. Sample cast iron parts complete a 48-hour neutral salt spray test.
5. Can you custom W/Round Brass Grate Strainer Floor Drain according to our drawing?
Plumberstar can make custom W/Round Brass Grate Strainer Floor Drains based on customers’ engineering drawings. Our engineers check dimensions, assembly layout, and connection standards. Feasibility evaluation usually finishes within 2 working days. Customers need to supply CAD or vector engineering drawings. Once drawings are confirmed, we normally produce three initial samples. These samples will go through dimension, assembly, sealing, and drainage tests. Pressure testing can be arranged following standards agreed by both sides if required. Mass production starts only after initial samples pass inspection and receive your approval.
