Commercial Floor Troughs, Trench Drains & Grates

Best Commercial Floor Troughs & Trench Drains for Kitchens

A floor trough is a long stainless steel trench drain set into the floor and topped with a removable grate. Widths run 12 to 24 inches, lengths 12 to 120 inches, and bodies 2 or 4 inches deep, so the run matches the stretch of floor that needs draining.

Square floor drains in 12 and 18 inch sizes, along with floor water receptacles, cover the spots that need one drain point instead of a run.

We feature top-quality brands such as Advance Tabco, John Boos, Steelworks, and Omcan USA, and strive to provide the most competitive prices available.

Benefits of Commercial Floor Drains

Standing water is the quickest way to turn a busy kitchen floor into a hazard. A trench drain moves runoff away from the work area and helps maintain safe, sanitary floor conditions wherever the operation sheds a lot of water.

Bodies are pitched toward the waste outlet so water keeps moving instead of pooling, and a removable strainer basket catches debris before it reaches the plumbing. Emptying a basket beats clearing a blocked line, and pairing that line with grease traps keeps fats out of the waste plumbing.

What to Look for in Floor Troughs, Drains & Grates

Sizing comes first: measure the floor opening, then match width, length and depth to it. The rest is the grate on top, the pipe underneath, and how fast the run rinses down when the hose reel comes out at close.

• Grate material: Stainless steel and fiberglass grates are both available, and some fiberglass grating adds a non-slip surface.
• Grate spacing: Subway style grating built from 3/16 inch by 1 inch bars is spaced so caster wheels roll across without getting trapped.
• Drain connection: Units take a 4 inch drain pipe, and some ship with a plumbing sleeve.
• Strainer basket: A removable stainless steel basket sits at the outlet and lifts straight out to be emptied.
• Construction: Bodies are welded from 14 gauge stainless steel, with some lines polishing the exposed welds flush.

Match the opening, choose stainless or fiberglass grating, confirm the drain size, and the rest is installation. Finish the wash-down area with mop sinks and keep every wet zone draining the way it should.
