Connecting Drains: Methods for Attaching Floor Drains to Drainage Pipes

When it comes to connecting the drainage pipe of our bathroom to the floor drain, what methods should be used? Today, Xiao Ming will discuss this topic with everyone.

What are the connection methods between the floor drain and the drainage pipe?

1. Firstly, insert the lower pipe interface of the floor drain into the drainage pipe and check whether the fit around the floor drain inserted into the pipe is standard. Some floor drains require a water seal core to be installed.

2. Therefore, when inserting the pipe, make sure not to use a pipe that is too narrow. If a ring is added inside, the water seal core should be slightly thinner, so that the small ring on top fits onto the drainage pipe without affecting the connection between the drainage pipe and the floor drain.

3. Before installation, it is also essential to check if there are any blockages in the drainage pipe and the floor drain. If there are no obstructions, make sure to turn off the water supply completely and keep the two components dry.

What should be noted when purchasing a floor drain?

1. When buying a floor drain, choose the appropriate one based on the different areas in your home. It is best to select a floor drain specifically for washing machines near the washing machine, as this allows the washing machine's pipe to be directly inserted into the floor drain for drainage.

2. Common materials for floor drains include PVC, stainless steel, and brass. Among these, stainless steel and copper alloy are the most common for home use due to their good price and durability, providing high cost-effectiveness. It is recommended that everyone consider these options.

3. When selecting a floor drain, it is best to choose one that is both aesthetically pleasing and has odor prevention features, ensuring that there are no unpleasant smells in the home.
