Emergency Guide: Recovering a Drain Core from the Pipeline

Certainly! Here's the translation of your content into English:Many people are familiar with floor drains, which are installed in bathrooms for drainage purposes. But do you know what to do if the drain core falls into the pipeline? Let’s take a look!

What to do if the drain core falls into the pipeline

You can use a thin wire to bend the front end, carefully hook it onto the holes of the filter core, and pull it out. Alternatively, check what material the filter core is made of. If it’s made of iron, you can bind a magnet to the thin wire and place it into the pipeline to attract it. You can also use a vacuum cleaner since the filter core is relatively light. Just remove the front filter screen and turn the vacuum cleaner to the maximum setting to suck it out.

What to pay attention to when installing a floor drain

1. Before installing the floor drain, make sure to remove the anti-odor core to prevent debris from falling inside and damaging it. The key function of the floor drain is to drain water, so the installation position of the drain must not be higher than the floor level. If the distance between the drain pipe and the floor is very close, you may need to cut a bit off the drain pipe.

2. During the installation process, consider the protection work afterwards. You should not directly fill it with cement mortar. Before filling, roll up some kraft paper into a cylinder that matches the size of the drain pipe opening, ensuring it connects well with the drain pipe and is higher than the floor level before proceeding with the filling work.

3. It is recommended to design a dedicated floor drain for washing machines at home for better drainage performance. However, using a regular floor drain is also feasible. When installing, simply insert the drain pipe into the floor drain and secure it in place.
