What Is a Stainless Steel Drain Trap?

A stainless steel drain trap is a hygienic drainage component installed in floor outlets to prevent foul odors, gases, and debris from entering the workspace through the drainage network. These traps often include water seals, sediment baskets, and flow regulators, and are commonly made from SS304 or SS316L, depending on the application.

They’re essential across industries that require safe, compliant, and low-maintenance drainage—from pharmaceuticals to food processing, hospitals to commercial kitchens.

Why Choosing the Right Drain Trap Matters

Drain traps are not one-size-fits-all. Using the wrong type can lead to:

• 🚨 Backflow or gas leakage, violating safety and health codes
• 💧 Clogging and slow drainage, disrupting facility operations
• ⚠️ Corrosion or contamination risks in sensitive environments
• ❌ Non-compliance with standards like GMP, FSSAI, or FDA

Choosing the right drain trap ensures:

• Efficient drainage
• Long service life
• Audit-ready performance
• Minimal downtime and maintenance costs
