Drain Locks for Commercial Drains: Pro-Tech, Guardian, and Permadrain Solutions
Food scraps, trash, and other debris can easily find its way into floor drains and sinks in restaurants, commercial kitchens, grocery stores, restrooms, and other facilities. Over time, this waste can build up in drainpipes, leading to clogs, unpleasant odors, and plumbing issues.
Drain locks and strainers offer a simple way to help reduce these problems by catching debris before it enters the plumbing system. Some models also feature locking mechanisms that help keep strainers and drain covers safely in place.
Equiparts carries several commercial drain protection products, including Pro-Tech drain locks, Guardian drain locks, PermaDrain sink strainers, flexible drain socks, and commercial sink strainers. Read on to get a closer look at the available options and how they work.
Pro-Tech Drain Locks: Tamper-Proof Protection for Floor Drains
The Pro-Tech Drain Lock from Drain Net Technologies features an expanding locking mechanism that secures the strainer inside the drainpipe. It can be installed in floor drains, floor sinks, and mop sink basins.
As the installation bolt is tightened, expanding teeth grip the inside of the pipe without damaging it. This helps prevent the strainer from being removed or displaced during routine cleaning.
