What are some of the Benefits?

Grate Seal® is supplied at a low cost considering the problems that are resolved without having to remove or replace tiled surfaces, concrete, waterproofing, etc.

Unit is one piece and self cleansing.
No ridges or braces to obstruct or catch waste.
No fixing required as the seal stays in place through friction.

What is Grate Seal Made From?

Grate Seal® is produced from an antimicrobial polymer compound making it durable and resistant to breaking down and allowing it to be used in a wide variety of applications, including the medical and commercial field.

Will it Cope with my water Flow?

As a WaterMark® approved product, the one way valve does not restrict flow, and the flow rates achieved more than cope with the maximum allowable flows from plumbing fixtures such as showers. Unlike other products on the market, a water seal is not required for Grate Seal® to be 100% effective making Grate Seal a permanent and maintenance free solution.

Can i use any drainage outlet for the Grate Seal® Bucket Trap?

Grate Seal® Bucket Trap is located below the grate in the drainage riser pipe, this allows any style drainage outlet to be utilised, including trench grating. When the housing is installed it is flexed against the internal wall of the waste pipe which creates both a seal and a frictional fit. This allows removal for maintenance. Stainless Steel varieties don’t allow the removal of the housing for maintenance. This results in the permanent damage of the secondary basket.

Does the Grate Seal® Bucket Trap prevent the use of a fire collar?

The Grate Seal® Bucket Trap does not prevent the operation of a fire collar, unlike stainless steel varieties it is constructed of an elastomeric & polymer material which a fire collar can crush and provide the necessary fire barrier. The finished floor surface, tile, resin, vinyl or any other material is not disturbed due to the Grate Seal® Bucket Trap being a separate item from the outlet, being made from a flexible material and installed in the drainage riser pipe.
