FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the dual-sided cover plate?

The dual-sided cover plate offers flexibility in design. You can choose to use the sleek stainless steel finish or tile the other side to seamlessly match your existing flooring, providing both functionality and aesthetic integration.

What size pipe does the side outlet connect to?

The side outlet is designed to connect to a standard 50mm outside diameter (OD) pipe.

How much can the height of the drain be adjusted?

The height of the drain gully trap can be adjusted from a minimum of 20mm to a maximum of 75mm to accommodate different floor depths.

Is this drain suitable for a wet room shower floor?

Yes, this type of floor drain gully trap is suitable for wet room shower floors, provided it is installed correctly with appropriate waterproofing and slope towards the drain.

Do I need a special tool to install the adjustable height mechanism?

Typically, the height adjustment is managed by the trap's internal mechanism and positioning during installation. Standard plumbing tools and practices are usually sufficient.

What is the purpose of the temporary cover?

The temporary gully cover is provided to protect the drain opening from damage and prevent debris such as mortar, paint, or dust from entering the drainage system during floor construction or renovation work.

Can I tile directly onto the cover plate?

Yes, one side of the cover plate is designed to be tiled. You will need to use appropriate tile adhesive and grout for wet areas, following standard tiling procedures.

Troubleshooting

Slow or blocked drainage

Check the cover plate and gully trap for any accumulated hair, soap scum, or debris. Remove and clean as necessary. Ensure the side outlet pipe is not obstructed.

Water pooling around the drain

Verify that the trap is correctly installed and sealed to the subfloor, and that the surrounding floor slopes adequately towards the drain. Ensure the height adjustment is properly sealed.

Cover plate does not sit flush

Recheck the height adjustment mechanism. Ensure no debris is present between the trap body and the cover plate. Confirm the subfloor is level.

Gully trap leaks from the base

The sealing around the trap body and flange may be compromised. It may be necessary to remove the trap, reapply appropriate sealant or waterproofing membrane, and reinstall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the installation area is prepared according to local plumbing codes.
  2. Position the gully trap, connecting the 50mm OD side outlet to your existing drainage pipe.
  3. Adjust the height of the trap to match the final floor level, ensuring it sits securely.
  4. Apply sealant around the trap body and flange to create a watertight seal with the subfloor and waterproofing membrane.
  5. Install the chosen cover plate (stainless steel or tile-ready side up).
  6. Apply grout and finishing as per standard tiling practices if using the tileable option.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use with standard 50mm OD drainage pipes.
  • Suitable for installation in concrete, tile, or other common flooring materials in wet areas like bathrooms, showers, kitchens, and utility rooms.

Care:

  • Regularly clean the visible grate or cover to remove hair and debris that could impede water flow.
  • For the stainless steel finish, use a mild detergent and soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
  • If the cover is tiled, clean the tiles and grout lines as you would the rest of your floor. Periodically, the cover can be removed (refer to specific installation instructions for removal) for deeper cleaning of the gully trap itself.
