In our daily lives, whether in rural or urban areas, almost every household installs a floor drain. So what should we do if the lower end of the floor drain cannot reach the sewer pipe during installation? Today, I will discuss this issue and hope to provide some help. Interested friends can join me to learn more.
What to do if the lower end of the floor drain cannot reach the sewer pipe
If the lower end of the floor drain cannot reach the sewer pipe, it is likely that the pipe of the floor drain is too short. In this case, if the floor drain has not been installed yet, you can replace it with a longer floor drain pipe. If it has already been installed, you can prepare a PVC pipe and a sleeve. Measure the gap between the floor drain and the sewer pipe to see how much is lacking. Based on the measurements, cut the pipe to the right length and use hot melt adhesive to connect it between the floor drain and the sewer pipe.
What to consider when purchasing a floor drain
1. When selecting a floor drain, you can choose anti-odor floor drains and stainless steel floor drains. These types can help prevent unpleasant odors when installed in bathrooms or kitchens.
2. When purchasing a floor drain, make sure to avoid iron floor drains, as they are prone to rusting. It is best to buy stainless steel floor drains to prevent clogging issues due to rust stains.
3. Many households experience unpleasant smells from floor drains in their bathrooms and kitchens. Purchasing anti-odor floor drains or installing them can prevent unpleasant odors during usage and ensure that the kitchen or bathroom remains fresh.
