WallDrain from QuickDrain: Unique Innovation + Superior Functionality

Behind-the-wall, “invisible” linear drain concept offers a cutting-edge
look that perfectly complements the current trend to curbless showers.

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WallDrain from QuickDrain USA brings truly unique innovation to the
modern bathroom shower. This radically different concept in shower
drains features an elegant linear design, but with no decorative metal
components. Instead, water gracefully exits via the downward slope of
the shower pan into a drain channel concealed behind the base of the
wall — rendering WallDrain virtually invisible. Nearly any solid surface
tile can be installed in the drain’s magnetic vertical cover before it
is attached to the shower wall, resulting in a seamless and fully
integrated design.

But this cutting-edge design does not come at the expense of function or
flexibility. WallDrain is a total shower solution:

• Superior function: Unlike most linear
  drains, WallDrain is engineered to extend the full length of the
  shower floor, promoting complete water evacuation. It’s a perfect
  solution for both curbed and curbless showers, easily accommodating
  universal designs in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities
  Act.
• Superior flexibility: To ensure a
  perfectly precise installation from one vertical surface to the next,
  WallDrain uses either vertical or side waste outlets, and trough
  extensions and drain covers can both be trimmed on-site after the
  drain body is positioned.
• Superior adaptability: WallDrain
  can adapt to almost any existing plumbing condition and can
  accommodate a poured shower pan or QuickDrain’s own Quickslope PET
  (polyethylene terephthalate) rigid-foam panels. The latter is an
  environmentally friendly option, fabricated from recycled, plastic
  water and soda bottles, that also considerably reduces installation
  time and labor cost.

The transitional styling of WallDrain lends itself to both traditional
and contemporary bath décors. Applications encompass both residential
and commercial spaces; e.g., hospitality (hotels, resorts, casinos),
athletic and health clubs, custom home master baths, and luxury
apartment and condominium baths.

Key Specifications: WallDrain features a 316L marine grade
stainless steel drain body. Three standard sizes are available: 48
inches, 72 inches and 96 inches. Onsite adjustability permits shower
lengths of 26 to 72 inches with a single drain; 56 to 96 inches with two
drains linked together. Each size is available with a standard vertical
drain waste outlet, or with a side waste outlet configuration.

WallDrain is ADA-approved, meets all Uniform Plumbing Code and
International Plumbing Code standards, and meets or exceeds ASME
A112.18.2-2005. List prices start at $1,500.

Complements Curbless Showers: QuickDrain National Showroom
Manager, Darryl Jones, notes that the look and function of WallDrain
provides an excellent fit with curbless showers, whose popularity
continues to grow.

“WallDrain is a perfect addition to increasingly popular curbless shower
designs,” says Jones. “The product is easy to work with and quick to
install. In addition, the single-direction slope permits the use of
larger tiles, which are aesthetically pleasing and reduce grout lines
for easier cleaning.”

Purchasing WallDrain involves a three-step ordering process

• Step 1: Measure from finished vertical wall to finished vertical wall
  for full coverage.
• Step 2: Determine the proper waste outlet configuration and the best
  drain size (length) for the installer to trim on the job to the
  shower’s specific dimensions.
• Step 3: Contact a QuickDrain dealer to place the order. www.quickdrainusa.com/where-to-buy
