The rubber horizontal shower drain converter can simplify the installation process, reduce costs, and open up new possibilities for bathroom renovations and upgrades. This amazing invention will fit all our SereneDrains linear shower drains and square drains.

Using a horizontal shower drain converter offers several benefits:

• Connection to Existing Plumbing: The horizontal side outlet allows the new drain to connect to an existing drain pipe and P-trap that are not directly beneath the new drain location. This can minimize the need for extensive demolition and reduce both the mess and cost of the renovation project.
• Accessibility in Challenging Installations: In scenarios where there is no access to the space below the floor, such as in slab foundations or second-story installations, the horizontal drain outlet makes it feasible to undertake a project that would otherwise be impossible. This flexibility is particularly valuable for retrofitting older homes or buildings where access to plumbing is limited.
• Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Horizontal side outlet shower drains provide a sleek, modern look, as they can be integrated seamlessly into the floor, often along one side or wall of the shower.
• Improved Water Drainage: These drains can handle a larger volume of water more efficiently, which helps prevent water from pooling in the shower.
• Increased Design Flexibility: They allow for more flexibility in shower design, enabling the use of large-format tiles or even barrier-free shower entries, which can be particularly useful for creating accessible bathrooms.
• Easy Maintenance: Horizontal drains typically have removable covers, making them easier to clean and maintain compared to traditional center drains.
• Better Slope Management: With a horizontal drain, the shower floor can have a single slope toward the drain, making it easier to design and construct compared to a traditional center drain that requires multiple slopes.
• Enhanced Accessibility: These drains are ideal for walk-in showers and can help create a safer, barrier-free environment for individuals with mobility issues.
• Reduced Clogging: Due to their design, horizontal side outlet drains can reduce the likelihood of clogs and are often easier to clear if they do occur.

Cleaning a linear shower drain is straightforward and can be easily managed with regular maintenance. Here are the steps to keep your linear drain in top condition:

1. Remove the Drain Cover: Use the lifting key supplied with your linear drain to remove the cover.

2. Clean the Waste Trap: Remove the waste trap. Our linear drains come with a removable hair guard and column, making it easy to access the inner part of the trap. Take out any hair or debris collected in the guard.

3. Scrub the Drain: Use a bathroom cleaning solution to clean the drain and waste trap. A soft cleaning brush can help remove ingrained dirt and potential drainage obstructions. Scrub thoroughly to ensure all soap scum and debris are removed.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the cleaned parts with water to remove any remaining cleaning solution and dirt.

5. Reassemble the Drain: Once everything is clean and rinsed, reassemble the waste trap and replace the drain cover.

6. Regular Maintenance: Regularly check and clean the drain to prevent buildup and ensure it remains free of dirt and soap scum.

By following these steps, you can maintain your linear drain's functionality and appearance. Our Serene linear and square drains, made from grade 304 stainless steel, are highly resistant to corrosion and rust. However, proper installation and regular maintenance will ensure their maximum longevity. Detailed instructions for installation and maintenance are provided with each drain to help avoid future issues.
