Introduction to Conventional Floor Drains

The floor drain, a small decoration material, actually plays a crucial role. It is also an indispensable product in the bathroom. What are the types of floor drains? Faced with so many types of floor drains, people also need to make choices, but among so many products, there are also many people who do not know how to choose the right product. How should we choose the right floor drain?

1、 What are the types of floor drains

1. Shallow water sealed floor drain

The principle of shallow water sealed floor drain is to form a floor drain with U-shaped double layer holes and water storage bends to discharge water and prevent odor. Among them, the main function of odor prevention and leakage still depends on the presence of medium (water). When water flows into the floor drain, due to the special structure of the water storage bend, the floor drain always stores a portion of water, and the upper and lower pipes of the floor drain can also be isolated.

Floor drains are also relatively simple, and in daily life, there are also many sticky impurities that can easily cause congestion in the water trap. Moreover, the cleaning difficulty is relatively high (if it is hair, some tools may also be used to clean it out). Over time, the water trap will become narrower and narrower after passing through the water channel, leading to slower drainage. If there is no water in the trap for a long time, the bedroom and sewer are completely connected, which can easily cause odor and odor, and may also spread bacteria to the bedroom.

2. Bouncing floor drain

Its price is relatively cheap and may be used in many construction projects, but in daily life, it is probably rarely used by households. The bouncing floor drain needs to be manually stepped on to achieve the function of opening and closing, and it is not odorproof or insect proof. For home decoration, it is not recommended to purchase.

3. Gravity flip floor drain

By using gravity springs to achieve the opening and closing of the flip, the cost is also relatively low, and it has functions of odor and insect prevention. However, this type of gravity flip floor drain also has some drawbacks, which is that the drainage speed is not as fast. In practical applications, when it is necessary to use this type of floor drain due to pipe diameter and depth issues, gravity flip floor drain can be considered, which is also popular in the market.

4. T-shaped floor drain

The T-shaped floor drain can change the closed state of the magnetic sealing plate or spring sealing plate through different water weights to achieve the effect of opening or closing. It has a fast launching speed and can prevent odor and insects, making it the best of these four styles. However, even the best products still have certain drawbacks. After using the T-shaped floor drain for a long time, it will lose its elasticity, and the spring core needs to be replaced. However, replacement is also very convenient. In daily household life, it is recommended to purchase it.

2、 How to Choose Floor Drains Correctly

Firstly, in any case, floor drains can have a complete anti odor effect.

The anti odor function of floor drains requires sealing to achieve effectiveness. Consumers can choose different sealing methods for floor drains based on their usage location and other conditions.

Secondly, the drainage capacity of the floor drain should meet the usage requirements

The drainage capacity of the floor drain should be large enough, even if there is no one at home and the water pipe bursts, it can quickly drain the water. The drainage amount can be checked by requesting instructions or testing reports, which should be based on the inner diameter size of the floor drain socket and。
