Stainless steel drainage positions are usually specified by environment first: the drain sits in a kitchen, a washroom or a food area, it is cleaned every day, and it stays wet for much of its working life. That combination is why stainless steel is the default material for wet-area drainage in commercial projects. Fanoos AlHadeeth Trading Co. supplies the <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.fanoosksa.com\/ar\/product-category\/stainless-steel-drains\/\">stainless steel drains range<\/a> from Jeddah to projects across Saudi Arabia, on a quotation basis. This guide sets out where stainless is specified and why, the formats available in the range, and the details to confirm before ordering.<\/p>\n<h2>Where stainless is specified and why<\/h2>\n<p>Three properties drive the specification. The first is hygiene: wet commercial areas are cleaned to a routine, and drainage is part of the surface being cleaned. A drain in a kitchen or washroom has to tolerate that daily regime without becoming the dirtiest part of the room, so specifiers choose a material whose surface can be washed down as readily as the floor around it. The second is corrosion resistance: a drain body and grate that are permanently damp, and regularly exposed to cleaning chemicals and food waste, must not corrode in service, because a corroded grate is both a hygiene problem and a maintenance cost. The third is cleaning practicality: grates and covers in these areas are lifted and cleaned by hand, so the drainage has to be accessible and straightforward to maintain by the staff who actually do the work.<\/p>\n<p>Those three considerations apply across the environments where this range is specified:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Commercial kitchens and food-preparation areas, including hotel, restaurant and catering facilities<\/li>\n<li>Washrooms, shower rooms and changing areas in commercial and institutional buildings<\/li>\n<li>Food and beverage production and packing areas with wash-down routines<\/li>\n<li>Wet leisure areas, including pool changing and shower spaces<\/li>\n<li>Back-of-house service areas where floors are hosed or mopped down daily<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The point is not that other materials have no place in drainage \u2014 general floor and roof drainage is a separate category with its own range. It is that where the drainage forms part of a cleaned, hygienic surface, stainless steel is the specification that matches how the room is actually used and maintained.<\/p>\n<h2>Formats in this range<\/h2>\n<p>The range is organised by format, because a kitchen, a shower room and a washroom each drain differently.<\/p>\n<h3>Floor strainers<\/h3>\n<p>The Finished Floor Strainer 7010 family (models 7010, 7010S and 7020) and the Finished Floor Strainer FD 7060 are point outlets with a strainer finish at floor level \u2014 the straightforward choice for individual wet positions, wash-down points and plant areas. The Recessed Floor Drains 7010SR provide a recessed variant where the drain sits within the floor finish rather than on it.<\/p>\n<h3>Floor and shower drains \u2014 the 7160 family<\/h3>\n<p>The 7160 family covers the grate and cover variations a shower or wash area typically needs. The standard format is the floor and shower drain with drop-in grate (7160), where the grate lifts out for cleaning. The solid cover version (7160RS) closes the drain off at the surface where a sealed finish is required. Wall-type shower drains (7160A) position the outlet at the wall junction, and triangular floor drains (7160T) fit the corner positions that rectangular formats cannot serve neatly. Selecting within the family is mostly a matter of where the drain sits in the room: mid-floor, against a wall, or in a corner.<\/p>\n<h3>Odour trap drains<\/h3>\n<p>The Floor Drains with Odour Trap 7260 address a specific and common complaint: drain smells entering a room through a little-used outlet. A trap holds a seal of water between the room and the drainage line; where a position is specified with odour control in mind, the 7260 is the relevant model in this range, and the trap question should be settled at specification stage rather than after occupation.<\/p>\n<h3>Linear and wall drains<\/h3>\n<p>For shower rooms and changing areas, linear drainage collects water along a line rather than at a point, which simplifies floor falls \u2014 the floor can fall in one direction towards the channel. The <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.fanoosksa.com\/ar\/product\/linear-drains-for-showers-7810\/\">7810 \u0645\u0635\u0627\u0631\u0641 \u062e\u0637\u064a\u0629 \u0644\u0645\u0646\u0627\u0637\u0642 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u062d\u0645\u0627\u0645<\/a> (models 7810G and 7810RS) are the standard linear format in the range, the Recessed Linear Shower Drain 7810R is the recessed variant, and Wall Drains 7810W place the drainage directly at the wall line, a format often used in accessible and open-plan shower layouts.<\/p>\n<h3>Kitchen drains<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.fanoosksa.com\/ar\/product\/kitchen-drains-7820kds\/\">7820KDS \u0645\u0635\u0627\u0631\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0637\u0627\u0628\u062e<\/a> (models 7820KDS and 7820RGS) are the point-drain option for kitchen positions. For kitchens where a whole working line needs drainage, point drains are usually combined with a channel run; the <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.fanoosksa.com\/ar\/product-category\/trench-modular-drains\/\">trench and modular drains range<\/a> includes a dedicated modular kitchen family, so the point and channel elements of a kitchen can be scheduled together.<\/p>\n<h2>Details to confirm before ordering<\/h2>\n<p>Stainless drainage is rarely ordered from a photograph; three details determine whether the supplied drain fits the position it was bought for, and all three come from the project drawings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Outlet<\/strong> \u2014 the size and direction of the connection the drain makes to the drainage line below. Confirm both against the drainage layout, not the architectural plan alone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grate or cover type<\/strong> \u2014 drop-in grate, solid cover, recessed, or linear format, chosen by position: mid-floor, wall, corner, or along a line.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trap<\/strong> \u2014 whether the position needs odour control, and whether the trap is part of the drain or provided elsewhere in the line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Confirming these at specification stage is what keeps the installed drain level with the finished floor and connected as drawn. If a position on the schedule is ambiguous, raise it with the supplier at quotation stage \u2014 it is far easier to resolve on paper than on site.<\/p>\n<h2>Cleaning and maintenance basics<\/h2>\n<p>Stainless drainage keeps its appearance and function with a simple routine, and the routine is worth handing to the facilities team at handover. Lift grates and strainer baskets regularly and clear collected debris before it builds up \u2014 most blockages in wet areas start as debris left in the drain body. Rinse the drain body and grate as part of the normal floor wash-down, using a mild detergent and a soft cloth or brush for the visible surfaces rather than abrasive pads, which mark the finish. Keep traps wet: an odour trap only seals while it holds water, so little-used outlets should be run with water periodically to top the seal up. Finally, include the drainage in the periodic maintenance inspection \u2014 a grate that is seated correctly and a trap that is holding water are quick checks that prevent the two most common complaints, smells and slow drainage.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Why is stainless steel specified for commercial kitchens?<\/h3>\n<p>Because the drainage in a kitchen is part of a cleaned, hygienic surface. Stainless steel is specified for its combination of corrosion resistance in a permanently damp environment and a surface that can be washed down as part of the daily cleaning routine. The specification is driven by how the room is used and maintained, not by appearance.<\/p>\n<h3>Should I use a linear drain or a point drain in a shower area?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the floor layout. A linear drain, such as the 7810, lets the floor fall in a single direction towards the channel, which suits open and accessible shower layouts. A point drain from the 7160 family suits a defined shower position with falls arranged towards one outlet. Both are in the range; the drawings usually make the choice clear.<\/p>\n<h3>What does an odour trap drain do?<\/h3>\n<p>It holds a seal of water between the room and the drainage line, which blocks drain smells from entering the room through that outlet. The Floor Drains with Odour Trap 7260 are the models to specify where odour control is a requirement, particularly for outlets that are used infrequently.<\/p>\n<h3>What details do you need to quote for stainless drains?<\/h3>\n<p>For each position: the format (strainer, floor drain, linear, wall or kitchen drain), the outlet size and direction, the grate or cover type, whether a trap is required, and the quantity. A drainage schedule or marked-up drawings provide all of it.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you supply projects outside Jeddah?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 Fanoos supplies projects across Saudi Arabia from its Jeddah base, on a quotation basis. Include the project location with your enquiry so the team can confirm the supply arrangements for that project.<\/p>\n<p>To request a quotation, send your drainage schedule or drawings through the <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.fanoosksa.com\/ar\/contact\/\">quote request form<\/a>, call +966546236905, or email sales@backup.fanoosksa.com.
