Drain Covers (108 items found)

Plumbing mishaps can be a major expense for homeowners. When pipes get clogged, leaks and overflows can cause major damage to a building's infrastructure, making it important to prevent debris from entering pipes by installing drain grates and covers. Shop drain covers and drain grates as well as the drain accessories you need at Ace.

The Importance of Drain Grates

A plumbing necessity, the function of a drain grate is to allow water to flow through while trapping larger particles outside the pipe. This is an effective way to maintain your drain and reduce the need for repairs. Covers are important because they provide a simple way to block off a drain completely when you need to. They're good for combination shower and tub situations when you want to take a bath, and are also good for preventing chemicals from running down storm drains.

Keep in mind that your drain grate should fit its intended drain and that it is properly installed so that it works as needed.

Indoor Drains & Covers

There are many different types of drain stoppers for use in your bathroom, kitchen or workshop. The pop-up or toe-touch drain assembly is a convenient choice for the bathtub, letting you seal and unseal your drain in a flash by simply pushing it.  If you're tired of clogged bathtubs, try a silicone hair catcher plug as a replacement for the standard grate: It's easy to insert, remove and clean.

And if you have a busy workshop, floor drain covers are a necessity. These are typically made in epoxy-coated cast iron and are loosely set, making them easy to remove for regular drain maintenance.

Storm Drains & Covers

Storm drains prevent water from building up on the pavement and in your garden. Standing water is a health hazard, so it's important to install a storm drain wherever you notice water begin pooling. Depending on your circumstance, you may need on of the following drains:

• Outdoor Drain: A solid cover option for your storm grate, an outdoor drain is also useful as it helps to protect the environment by preventing chemical spill off from entering the water supply.
• Channel Drain: Traditional choices for outdoor areas such as driveways and curbs, channel drain grates, also known as trench drain grates, are commonly made using polyethylene to resist erosion. 
• Round Drains: Often found on patios, pool areas and lawns, and made of stainless steel or polyethylene, round drains come in smaller diameters and are a low-profile way to reduce standing water.
• Atrium Grate: A great addition to your outdoor planter bed, install a drain with an atrium grate where excess water builds up to redirect it to the curb. Typically designed in synthetic materials, this type of grate is elevated for easy access and clearing.

Ace carries faucet hole covers made of stainless steel or plastic with a chrome finish that resist rusting for lasting use and durability.

The drum trap is an older drain designed to allow wastewater to drain while keeping sewer gas from entering. You can access the drum trap through a cover on the floor of your bathroom, but this cover must fit well to prevent the passage of harmful fumes.
