SaniteModar Linear Shower Drain 32 in Gold - Low Profile Stainless

Our review of the SaniteModar Linear Shower Drain finds it best suited for homeowners and remodelers who want a durable, attractive linear drain that handles high water flow while staying easy to maintain. The single biggest reason to buy is the drain's AISI 304 stainless steel construction with a gold finish and an internal X design that channels water quickly to the 2 in outlet, reducing standing water. It is a practical choice for tiled showers where a low-profile, tile-in insert and simple cleaning are priorities.

Key Features

• 32 in length: A long linear profile provides a wide capture zone that works well with modern curbless or single-slope shower floors.
• AISI 304 stainless steel: The gold-finished stainless body resists corrosion and keeps the drain looking good over time in wet environments.
• 2 in outlet diameter: A 2 in outlet with around 60 l/min flow (without filter mesh) supports fast water removal for high-flow showers.
• X-shaped internal design: The internal X pattern directs water toward the central outlet to reduce residual moisture at the bottom of the channel.
• Tile insert and flat panel options: The 2 in 1 tile insert and flat panel allow a clean, integrated look with a removable cover for access and aesthetic flexibility.
• Adjustable leveling feet and hair strainer: Two leveling feet simplify installation on uneven floors and the included filter mesh is removable for straightforward cleaning.

Who It's For

This drain is aimed at DIYers, plumbers and professional remodelers fitting tile shower floors where a long, single-threshold linear drain is desired. The gold finish and tile-in insert make it a good pick for higher-end bathroom styles, and the robust stainless construction suits wet areas beyond showers, such as utility rooms or basements.

Those who should look elsewhere include projects requiring custom outlet sizes or an integrated trap assembly not provided with this unit, and installers who need a drain longer or shorter than 32 in. Also, if a different finish or material grade is required for specialized commercial environments, consider alternatives.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High-quality AISI 304 stainless steel construction offers good corrosion resistance and long life.
• The X-shaped internal channel and 2 in outlet yield fast drainage and reduced standing water.
• Tile-in insert and flat panel options provide a neat, customizable finish that blends with 4 in tile.
• Adjustable feet and removable hair strainer make installation and maintenance straightforward.

Cons

• The product is a specific 32 in length and 2 in outlet, so it is not a one-size-fits-all solution for every rough-in or nonstandard layout.
• The gold finish, while attractive, may not match every bathroom hardware palette.
