INSTALLATION AND SPECIAL APPLICATION
Previous   Section Index   Next

Adjustable Top– The Smith 2005/2010 Series of floor drains are available with over 100 different strainer heads. Strainer heads have a 3 3/4" - 12" threaded shank which threads into flashing collar. This type of drain is particularly adaptable to two-pour construction, such as toilet rooms, shower rooms, locker rooms and other light duty finished areas. Strainer head is easily adjusted when tile floor is being set.

 

 

Reversible flashing collar in low position permits adjustment of the strainer to as low as 3/4" (measured from top of body pan to finished floor). This low position is particularly adaptable for installations where ceramic tile is applied directly to the slab. With collar in high position, sufficient adjustment is available for all normal two-pour installations. Usually the normal sand and cement fill and ceramic tile measures approximately 1 1/2". For unusually deep floor fills or unique construction, additional height can be obtained by using a Suffix -X Extension Adaptor.

Adjustable Top and Extension– Smith has available adjustable drains in the 8 1/2" and the 12" top sizes. Both sizes are available with light duty, medium duty, or heavy duty tops. See Table 2 below for variations:

Adjustable drains are particularly useful in areas where the finished floor elevation may vary or is not immediately determined. Additional adjustable extension sleeve is available for extra deep roughing conditions (Specify Suffix -E).

DRAIN GASKET INSTALLATION DATA

Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co. Speedi-Seal (Fig. 9502) and Speedi-Set (L) gaskets are available for use with cast iron, plastic, steel or glass pipe. Installation of your floor drains using Speedi-Seal or Speedi-Set can represent a significant reduction in time and labor costs over conventional caulk or NO-HUB installations.

Speedi-Seal Gasket with Fig. 9239 Caulk Support Strap -
The caulk support strap eliminates the need to search for supports for the drain during the caulking operation and the need to purchase expensive riser clamps. Its unique design allows it to be used on 02", 03" or 04" service weight or extra heavy pipe. The installer secures the strap in place, lubricates the plain end of the spigot, then rests the inside caulk outlet drain on the caulk support strap. The strap supports the drain body weight and the force created by the caulking operation without slipping. The inside surface of the Speedi-Seal gasket is then lubricated, pressed in place down over the pipe and lightly tapped until flush with the top of the pipe. Installation is fast and simple and the caulk support strap may be left in place or reused.

Speedi-Set OUTLET TYPE L -
Speedi-Set drains are available with most bottom outlet models by specifying (L) and piping material used. Service weight (SW) is regularly furnished or specify extra heavy (LXH). The Speedi-Set joint consists of a NO-HUB outlet body and a factory inserted extra heavy or service weight Speedi-Set neoprene gasket. The installer simply lubricates the plain end of the spigot and the inside of the gasket, then presses the drain body down over the pipe until contact is made with the internal stop of the gasket. The installation eliminates the need for hot lead, caulking irons, NO-HUB clamps, etc.
