Some job applications require drains with buckets to intercept and collect debris such as solid objects and leaves so the waste system is protected. Smith engineers have designed various types of buckets for different applications to accomplish this purpose.
NOTE: Where a bucket is not available, a dome bottom strainer or flat bottom strainer may be used to protect the waste system.

Solid SUSPENDED Bucket with Ported Openings

This bucket is ideal for drains which are located in areas where a large amount of debris is anticipated. It is particularly useful in areas such as vegetable storerooms where vegetables are pre-cleaned and a considerable amount of leaves and stalks are washed into the drain. The solid bottom of this bucket retains this type of solid matter while the overflow is discharged through the screens in the top of the bucket.

Deep Suspended Slotted Bucket

Used where large leafy objects such as peelings, leaves and paper are to be intercepted. When wetted down, these types of solids will compact at the bottom of the bucket. Slots run completely up the sides of the bucket to offer complete drainage even when the bottom section is filled with debris.

Solid Free Standing Bucket

Used where heavy materials such as sand, stones and chips are to be intercepted and separated from the drainage water. When sand laden drainage water enters the bucket, the sand falls to the bottom and the clear water flows over the top of the bucket into the waste line.
