Stainless Steel Threshold Drains
Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co.® first introduced a threshold drain with a flow rate of 100 GPM to the market in 2017. The 2018 International Building Code, Section 3007.3 requires builders to have a method of preventing water from infiltrating the elevator hoistway. While some locales, such as San Francisco, may require this method to accommodate a 100 GPM flow rate, other geographic areas may call for different flow rate requirements. To satisfy the need for lower flow rate drains, we have introduced the 9678 Series of drains with models that can accommodate 25, 50, 75, and 100 GPM flow rates

Always check pertinent fire and building codes for your location before specifying a threshold drain. Threshold drains are intended for use in front of elevators doorways and stairways to intercept water from sprinklers in the event of an emergency. Our Stainless Steel Threshold Drain utilizes 1/4” grate spacing which complies with ADA requirements and helps prevent public falls and injuries.
