At EverGreen, our slot drain sinks are made in one piece, and the slot drain system is part of the casting. Our most popular system involves a 1″ slot that runs the length of the trough. The actual drain outlets, which can be located anywhere along the slot, are hidden along the front wall and protected by a cast-in stainless strainer.
The product derives its name from its appearance above ground, as merely a “slot”. From this visible inlet, surface water flows into the unseen linear channel beneath.
Do not be fooled into thinking that its narrow aperture inhibits its drainage capacity. To this end, slot drain systems can be used in areas that experience a heavy flow of water, storm water for example, road drainage, service station grates, driveway cross overs, car wash/bus facilities , for example.
