Shower linear drain SpiroFlex AQUA STEEL LS with GL grate model SX-OLS800GL

The SpiroFlex AQUA STEEL LS shower linear drain with GL grate model SX-OLS800GL is a slim channel drain designed for tiled shower floors and barrier-free installations. It provides an elongated outlet that promotes efficient water removal and integrates neatly with bathroom finishes. The unit is suitable for residential and light commercial bathrooms where concealed drainage and easy maintenance are required, offering removable grate access for cleaning and hygienic water evacuation.

Advantages

The stainless steel channel design ensures corrosion resistance and a long service life in wet environments while the low-profile grate maintains a discreet aesthetic in tiled floors. The removable GL grate allows straightforward access for routine cleaning and debris removal. The linear layout directs water toward a single outlet, improving drainage performance compared with point drains and supporting consistent floor slopes in wet-room or curbless shower arrangements.

Suitable for

• Tiled walk-in and barrier-free showers
• Residential bathrooms and ensuite installations
• Light commercial washrooms with tiled floors
• Wet-room layouts requiring concealed channel drainage

Key specifications

• Channel style: linear channel drain with removable grate
• Grate type: GL model low-profile grate for tile integration
• Material: stainless steel channel and grate components for wet-area durability
• Installation orientation: floor-level, integrated with tile finishes
• Maintenance: removable grate for access to channel for cleaning

How to use

Install the linear drain in the prepared shower subfloor according to local plumbing codes and manufacturer installation guidelines, ensuring the channel is positioned at the lowest point of the finished floor slope. Place the drain so the GL grate sits flush with surrounding tiles; grout or tile to the grate edge where applicable. Periodically remove the grate to clear trapped debris and rinse the channel to maintain optimal flow. Verify seals and connections during installation to prevent leaks.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, set the floor slope consistently toward the channel (typically 1–2% or as advised by tile and adhesive manufacturers), avoid using aggressive chemical cleaners that can damage seals, and perform routine visual inspection and cleaning of the grate and channel to prevent blockage.
