SLEEK 800 Linear Shower Drain - Gun Grey

Product detailed description

Linear drains are essential components in modern bathroom design, particularly for walk-in showers where floor-level drainage is required. Installers working on residential and commercial projects need solutions that offer efficient water removal, structural stability and long-term durability. This model is designed for larger shower areas where a single central drain point is insufficient to manage water flow effectively. The absence of glass panels in the cover ensures a continuous, seamless surface, reducing potential hygiene issues in joints between materials.

Correct installation involves integrating the drain into the subfloor structure before tiling. It requires careful alignment with the slope of the shower floor to ensure proper water flow towards the slot. The drain must be connected to the waste system using standard plumbing techniques, with special attention paid to sealing and waterproofing measures to prevent leaks. Because of its length, the product is supplied in oversized packaging and delivered separately from other items in the order.

The 800 mm length makes this model suitable for large walk-in showers, ensuring even water distribution along the entire floor surface. The fully stainless steel construction eliminates the risk of corrosion and avoids the aesthetic compromise of mixed materials. The adjustable feet allow for fine-tuning during installation to match the slope of the room, while the removable trap enables quick maintenance without disassembly.Installation and connection To install the drain, the unit is first placed on three independent adjustable feet, which are set to level the channel according to the floor slope. Once aligned, the drain is embedded into the wet area’s screed, ensuring the top edge remains flush with the finished floor surface. After the screed has dried, the waterproof membrane is applied, and tiles are laid with a slight gradient towards the drain slot. The final step is fitting the cover, which should be mounted after the adhesive has fully cured to avoid displacement. Common mistakes include incorrect slope settings or failure to secure the drain properly within the screed. It is also important to ensure the trap is correctly positioned and sealed during the initial connection to the waste line. The absence of glass elements in the cover simplifies the tiling process, as there are no fragile components to protect during laying.Compatibility and accessories This model is compatible with standard waste systems in residential and commercial bathrooms. For optimal performance, it should be connected to a gravity-fed waste line using standard plumbing fittings. No additional accessories are included with the unit, but a sealing compound may be required during installation to ensure watertight integrity. The drain does not require specific underfloor supports due to its robust stainless steel body.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of this linear drain relies on gravity-assisted water flow from the tiled floor into the slot, which directs the water through an internal trap and into the waste system. The stainless steel body offers resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, making it suitable for high-moisture environments. The fully metal cover provides a smooth, continuous surface without gaps or joints that could trap dirt or moisture over time. Designers should consider the slope of the floor when planning the layout, ensuring water flows efficiently towards the drain. The length of the unit plays a key role in coverage, especially in large walk-in showers where multiple smaller drains might otherwise be necessary. The absence of glass elements in the cover enhances durability and reduces long-term maintenance requirements.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the trap is recommended to ensure it remains free from blockages. The trap can be removed without tools, allowing for quick cleaning and maintenance. There are no specified service intervals beyond visual checks and trap cleaning. During operation, the unit requires no special conditions beyond normal use and routine hygiene practices in the shower area.

Frequently asked questions

Can this drain be installed in a tiled floor?
Yes, the drain is designed for embedding in the floor during tiling. The cover is fitted after the adhesive has fully dried to avoid displacement.

Does the trap require any tools for removal?
No, the trap can be removed without tools, making maintenance quick and convenient.

Can the drain be adjusted after the floor is set?
No, the three adjustable feet must be set during installation before the screed is poured. Once embedded, adjustments are not possible.

Is the stainless steel body resistant to corrosion?
Yes, the body is made from stainless steel, which resists corrosion and is suitable for high-moisture environments.
