6 in Square Shower Drain Chrome - High Flow Stainless Steel

In this review the 6 in square shower drain in chrome is assessed for homeowners and tradespeople who need a durable, low-profile floor drain that moves water quickly. The bottom line: this drain is best for remodels and new showers where clog resistance and corrosion resistance matter most, because its 304 stainless steel face, high-flow grid and removable hair strainer address common ponding and maintenance issues without calling attention to the floor finish.

Key Features

• 6 in square footprint: provides a larger surface area to catch and channel water so drainage is faster and ponding is reduced.
• 304 stainless steel cover: resists rust, scratches and corrosion for long life in wet environments and keeps the visible finish looking clean.
• 2 in central outlet: fits standard U.S. plumbing connections and supports high flow to prevent backups in busy bathrooms.
• Adjustable height: the threaded adapter allows up to 1 in of height adjustment so the grate can be aligned with tile or thin-set finishes.
• Removable grid and hair strainer: the lifting key makes cleaning simple and the strainer helps catch debris before it reaches the trap.
• ABS drain base and rubber collar: the durable base fits standard plumbing while the rubber collar helps secure the assembly and reduce the risk of leaks.

Who It's For

This drain suits homeowners, tile setters and contractors installing tiled showers, wet rooms or utility areas who want a concealed, square drain with solid corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. It is especially useful where a larger grate opening is preferred to move water quickly and where a clean, embedded look is desired.

Those who should look elsewhere include projects that require nonstandard outlet sizes or decorative custom grates not available with this model; likewise, if a linear drain or a drain with integrated trap primer is required, this product will not meet those needs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large 6 in cover and grid design promote high flow and reduce ponding in showers.
• 304 stainless steel faceplate resists corrosion and maintains appearance over time.
• Easy maintenance with removable grid, hair strainer and included lifting key.
• Adjustable height and ABS base simplify installation with standard U.S. plumbing.

Cons

• The square embedded design may not suit projects that require a decorative or nonstandard grate style.
• Some buyers reported fit variations on older or nonstandard pans, so pre-checking measurements is advised.

Specifications
