The problem of floor drain can be big or small, and it really doesn’t need to put a lot of energy on it, but if it’s not selected well, it’s really frustrating. The structure of the floor drain is relatively complex due to the consideration of drainage and odor prevention.
Since the floor drain is buried below the ground and requires good sealing, it cannot be replaced frequently, so it is very important to choose the appropriate material.
Copper floor drain: it’s expensive and heavy to handle. Fortunately, it has good texture, thick and corrosion resistance.
The style can be divided into two categories: chrome plating and wire drawing. The former is unique in beauty, and it is inevitable that there will be scratches after a long time of use, resulting in unusual damage. However, wire drawing behaves like a gentleman, anti-wear, and takes on a new look after a few years.
It is relatively cheap, and the surface layer is mostly chrome plated, which looks very bright, or like the high-priced materials purchased by vendors from where. In fact, it has a sense of impossibility, so you should pay attention to it when purchasing.
This kind of material is very light. In addition, once the chrome plating on the surface is scraped away, it is easy to rust off in case of water, which is its hard injury.
304 stainless steel floor drain:
The most cost-effective, can meet the good corrosion resistance, mostly in the wiredrawing structure, can’t go to chrome plating, so here’s a reminder not to be fooled by unscrupulous businesses, especially to popularize this knowledge point.
Compared with all copper, 304 looks ordinary in appearance, but it is very practical to use.
The optional materials of the floor drain inner core are also diversified. You can choose all copper, alloy, ABS and so on! 304 stainless steel or all copper is recommended here. U-shaped floor drain is a typical model. The 304 inner core will not rust in essence. Like magnetic floor drain, you can choose ABS, which has the advantage of price. As a gravity flap, ABS can be selected to ensure light weight and good sealing.
First of all, we should make clear what the function of floor drain is. Floor drain, floor drain, the most important is the word “leak”. Whether it’s the bathroom or the laundry room, it’s the task of the floor drain to drain water in time. According to the design principle, both floor drains adopt the turnover plate core floor drain. When there is water, the turnover plate will be reopened to let the water flow down. When there is no water, the turnover plate will be closed to prevent the odor from returning.
Previously, people paid more attention to odor and insect prevention, and businesses also made more money in order to sell more expensive, so the main products are generally water sealed products. Although the water seal structure is relatively complex, it has good odor and insect prevention effect. However, because the water on the structure turns, the launching speed is difficult to be affected
Now, the major mainstream floor drain brands have changed to dry sealing floor drain cores. The main reason is that the amount of water in the bath becomes larger, and the launching speed is hard. It is barely enough to use dry sealing, and the launching speed of wet sealing is too slow. Dry sealing has the advantages of low cost, good effect, high cost performance and convenient promotion.
The specification, pipe diameter and launching depth should be determined before purchase. Generally, the pipe diameter is 50 or 75mm, and the launching depth is more than 150mm. It is a general floor drain model.
If it’s not expensive floor drain, it must be good. There are many expensive floor drains, which may be just because the floor drain shell is well made, such as high material, exquisite workmanship, such as a new style, etc. But this kind of floor drain doesn’t necessarily have a good floor drain core! If you have found this problem before, you don’t have to worry too much, because the floor drain core is not expensive and can be replaced. If you haven’t paid attention to this problem before, please pay attention. Maybe you need to change the floor drain core. After all, practicality is the last word.
