Floor Drains Systems Flushing Floor Drains: The Sani-Ceptor R-type flushing floor drain is the most commonly used drain. It is 14 inches in diameter with a hinged, perforated grate cover. The inside of the drain is porcelain enamel. The important benefit of this drain is that it can be flushed from controls on the wall so solids can be forced out of the system, which includes out of the P-trap. Trench Drains: Hydraulic Trench Systems, such as those from ACO Polymer Products (800/543- 4764) or Polydrain Trench Drain System (800/43 8-605 7), have been used successfully in canine runs. These can be installed for each individual run so cross -contamination is eliminated. Individual Kennel Drains: Separate drains in each run are an alternative that reduces the chance of cross - contamination and eliminates the mechanical parts of the above system. Six-inch • diameter drains are the smallest indicated unless ALL solids are to be collected before washing the run; with a solid -removal program, four -inch drains are usually adequate. A drawback is the stall washes to one small target. Drain Covers: Materials include plastics to stainless steel with stainless preferred. Grinder Pumps Set up for individual run collectors or larger for common interceptors. Plantings Don=t forget plantings; they add color, help with acoustics and scale, and provide comfort for animals and people. Glass/windows Adds more light, opens facility and allows viewing of and by dogs. Note: As with all such information, manufacturer I s names, phone numbers and prices are guaranteed to change!
