The Green Drain is an environmentally friendly water-free trap seal designed to prevent sewer gases, odours, and pests from entering buildings through floor drains. It uses a flexible silicone membrane that allows water to flow through while sealing off when water flow stops

The device has a silicone membrane that opens to let water and debris pass through and closes to prevent the backflow of gases and pests once the water stops flowing.

The Green Drain’s design allows water to rinse the membrane, preventing the buildup of dirt, hair, and grease that is common in traditional trap seals.

It can be installed in almost all types of floor drains in various settings, including factories, schools, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, public buildings, and residential homes. It is suitable for new buildings and retrofits in older structures.

The Green Drain comes in eight sizes to fit different drain diameters:

• GD125 (1.25”): 31-36 mm

• GD15 (1.5”): 37-45 mm

• GD2 (2”): 46-55 mm

• GD3 (3”): 68-80 mm

• GD35 (3.5”): 85-94 mm

• GD4 (4”): 95-104 mm

• GD5 (5”): 105-130 mm

• GD6 (6”): 145-155 mm

Yes, it can be installed without tools. After removing the drain grating, the Green Drain can be pushed into the pipe to fit snugly. For optimal flow, it is recommended to recess the Green Drain 2-3 inches into the drainpipe.

No, the Green Drain is not classified as a backflow device, but it can withstand up to 4 lbs. of pressure before the silicone valve inverts.

The Green Drain improves indoor air quality, prevents pest infiltration, reduces exposure to hazardous sewer gases, and is eco-friendly by eliminating the need for trap primers and continuous water flow.

Measure the diameter of your drain opening and compare it with the available sizes of the Green Drain (1.25” to 6”). Ensure that the chosen size fits within the diameter range for a snug fit.

Yes, the Green Drain is designed to handle high flow rates without impeding water drainage. Specific flow rates can vary by size, but it generally accommodates typical residential and commercial drain flows.

The Green Drain is made from durable, UV-resistant materials that ensure a long lifespan. While specific longevity can vary based on usage and environmental conditions, it is designed to provide many years of reliable service.

Yes, the Green Drain can be used in outdoor drains, including those in parking lots, patios, and other exposed areas, as it is made from UV-resistant materials.

Minimal maintenance is required. It is self-cleaning, but periodic inspection and cleaning may be beneficial in environments with heavy debris or grease accumulation.

The Green Drain is designed to prevent common pests such as drain flies, cockroaches, and other small insects from entering through the drains. Its one-way valve effectively blocks these pests while allowing water to flow through.
