FEATURES Easy to install & easy to remove. No pliers needed Requires no caulk or expensive installation tool Saves a significant amount of time, water, costs & energy The 3½” fits in the barrel of most commercial cast iron drains for an easy retrofit into existing drains SPECIFICATIONS Series inline floor drain trap seal with UV resistant ABS plastic frame, silicone rubber sealing flapper and four flexible sealing ribs. Tested and certified to the ASSE 1072 Standard and listed with IAPMO and I.C.C. Specify connection size (2″ (51MM), 3″ (76mm), 3 1/2″ (89mm) or 4″ (102mm)) Used in the outlet connections of floor drain bodies, or the inside of floor drain strainers to seal the opening to prevent odors, sewer gases, and insects from entering up through the floor drain grate. The Green Drain’s four flexible silicone sealing ribs ensure easy installation into openings that have variations in size. The Green Drain will open to allow drainage and close when there is no water flow. The Green Drain can be used in either new construction or retro-fit applications where trap primers were never installed. Prevents the following from entering through the top of floor drains: Odors and sewer/radon gases Insects and harmful pathogen spread Size Pipe Size Height Flow Rate (L/min) GD 1.5 36mm-44mm 35mm 22.7mm GD 2 48mm-58mm 35mm 35mm GD 2.5 55mm-65mm 35mm 67.6mm GD 3 75mm-85mm 50mm 128.7mm GD 3-3.5 80mm-90mm 50mm 128.7mm GD 3.5-4 90mm-100mm 50mm 193mm GD 4 102mm-110mm 50mm 276.3mm DRAIN FLY INFILTRATION Drain flies appear in homes, rest rooms of commercial buildings, sewage disposal plants and agricultural facilities that handle moist animal waste. Restaurants, schools and other public buildings may be avoided when drain flies are a nuisance. Bronchial asthma can be caused by inhaling fragments and dust of dead flies. Since these flies originate in filthy conditions, there is the possibility of physical transmission of microbes of human health concern. Drain flies can carry bacteria and other microorganisms from egg-laying sites to food and surfaces that come in contact with food. The Green Drain can help to prevent drain fly infiltration and potentially fatal cross contamination and infection spread caused by unprotected drains. The Green Drain is an economical Drain Trap Seal Device that allows water to flow down the drain while preventing Pests, Odors, and Harmful Gases/Pathogens from infiltrating the living or work space. Life CycleDrain fly larvae grow and feed in polluted, shallow water or in highly moist organic solids prevalent in drains. The life cycle of drain flies can be completed in one to three weeks. Adults live about two weeks, with old ones dying and new ones emerging. PreventionThe most effective way to prevent drain fly infestations is to eliminate their breeding places. Inside buildings, this would include cleaning the drain pipes, drain traps and other plumbing system components in an attempt to eliminate the bacterial scum (gelatinous rotting, organic matter) that regularly forms on the surfaces of plumbing. Pesticide TreatmentsThere are no insecticides registered for use in drains or sewage systems, as they can cause major damage of sewer and sanitation systems. In most cases, the larvae seem to be resistant to such treatments. INSTALLATION 1) Remove the grate or strainer. 2) Match the opening size (2”, 3”, 3.5”, or 4”) with the product size. 3) Place the appropriate size Green Drain into the floor drain body outlet connection, or the throat of the strainer. The four flexible silicone sealing ribs ensure easy installation into openings that have variations in size. 4) Recess The Green Drain into the pipe for maximum flow of liquids, and Replace the grate.
