Understanding Linear Drainage Mechanics
Think of a traditional center shower drain like a funnel that requires a steep slope from all four sides of your shower floor. In contrast, a linear drain like the Amazon River Series acts more like a wide retaining wall or trough at the edge of the shower. This allows your tile installer to slope the floor in just one direction toward the drain, simplifying tile placement and accommodating larger format tiles without awkward cuts.
Installation Guide
Ensure the subfloor is properly prepared and waterproofed before positioning the 12-inch linear drain body.
Connect the 2-inch outlet securely to your existing plumbing waste line using appropriate fittings.
Pitch the surrounding shower floor tiles smoothly toward the linear channel for optimal water flow.
Insert the included Dawn SDDF48000 filter securely into the drain channel to catch hair and debris.
Wipe down the stainless steel surface regularly to keep the polished satin finish looking pristine.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Cleaning Wash the stainless steel drain surface weekly with mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth.
Filter Maintenance Remove and clean the included drain filter periodically to prevent hair and soap buildup.
Finish Protection Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or harsh chemical bleach that could scratch the satin finish.
Mineral Removal Use a diluted solution of vinegar and water to gently remove any hard water spots or mineral deposits.
Rinse Thoroughly Always rinse the drain and surrounding tile thoroughly with clean water after applying any cleaning solution.
