AQUASTAR MAHC-1 Commercial Series VGB Unblockable Drains

MAHC-I COMMERCIAL SERIES

Streamline Design, Installation, and Plan Approval The MAHC-I Series are VGB Unblockable drains for replacement and new construction. The modular grates and supports are a direct replacement for existing 18″ × 36″, 54″, and 72″ drain grates. The series consists of a base kit 18″ wide by 36″ long that is expandable in 9″ increments to accommodate even larger sizes. The MAHC-I 18″ × 36″ stainless steel sumps are OEM, manufactured sumps, certified by UL in conformity with ANSI/APSP-16 2011. Configurable for any floor thickness, pipe size, or combination of pipe sizes from 2″ to 12″. No additional GB Act compliance engineering is required. Each includes an integrated water stop with tie-wire holes that are angled up to trap water and help prevent concrete voids.
The Click-It™ frame and grate modular design is compact, easy to handle, and takes up far less shelf space than required by traditional drain designs. Plus there is no limit to the length, giving the Registered Design Professional ultimate engineering flexibility.
