Floor Drain FAQ

What maintenance does a Terex floor drain require?
Regular maintenance is simple. We recommend visually inspecting and cleaning the grate and the channel every few months. Pour a bucket of water down the drain periodically to ensure the P-trap is full and to verify there is no slow drainage, which could indicate a developing clog.

Can a floor drain handle a complete washer tank leak?
Yes, a properly installed Terex floor drain is designed to manage the entire volume of a standard washing machine tank. The 4-inch inlet and high-flow design allow it to quickly evacuate a large volume of water, minimizing spillage and containing the water to the immediate laundry area.

Is the installation process complicated for a new drain?
Installing a new floor drain typically requires professional plumbing services. The process involves cutting into the concrete slab, connecting the drain pipe to the main sewer line, and ensuring the floor is correctly sloped towards the drain for effective water capture. A professional ensures the Terex drain is installed to code and functions optimally.
