BATHROOM DESIGN & BUILD
A month or so ago I was asked what the best drain grate choice is for a Kitchen's Pot Filler Drain. I have very limited experience in this area and to my knowledge I'm the only person with a drain in their kitchen under there pot filler.
Here is a peak at my pot filler drain under construction.
In the photo I'm setting the Bull Nose trim at the face of the liner drain. The linear drain is made by ACO systems and the line I promote and sell. The Bullnose a needed step because the water hits the grate and was running off the drain and spilling into my kitchen when I tested it.
I need to make a little dam or lip to stop the water from escaping. I did this with the white bull nose tile and also with a piece of flat bar stainless steel.
This is the complete job. The Grate design is the FLAG and I would have to say after testing the LINEAR grate it sucks compared to the Linear version. The linear version is an Australian inspired Wedge Wire with anti slip nubs. The grate works so well I might have skipped the little dam measures I incorporated into the build.
I'm going to hack up my ACO drain grate sample and test each version of the ACO drain grate. Of course I'll skip the tile insert grate since I think I know what would happen there.
I took some good shots yesterday. The ones above are old ones. Let me upload some new pictures and show more clearly the testing I did.
