Shower Drain PVC with Stainless Steel Grate – Vertical Outlet – 15x15 cm – Ø50 mm

A PVC shower drain with vertical outlet is the most common solution when the waste pipe runs straight down beneath the floor and you want a compact, discreet drain. This model by Aloni (SKU: FD256A) measures 15×15 cm, making it suitable for virtually any shower area — whether you're installing a new walk-in shower or renovating an existing bathroom.

Specifications

Is this product right for your situation?

This shower drain is suitable when your waste pipe runs vertically (straight down) beneath the floor with an internal diameter of 50 mm — the standard in most UK and European homes. The compact 15×15 cm footprint works equally well on tiled floors and resin screed floors, as the PVC body is light enough to be cast in without additional reinforcement. The stainless steel finish suits a modern, clean-lined bathroom.

If you have a horizontal waste pipe, this model is not the right choice — look for a shower drain with a horizontal outlet instead. If you also need greater drainage capacity for a large rain shower head, consider a longer shower channel rather than this square drain.

Installation and use

One of the most common mistakes when fitting a shower drain is setting the floor gradient incorrectly. Ensure the floor around the drain has a fall of at least 1–2% towards the grate; with a resin screed floor, set this before pouring, and with tiles, adjust the gradient in the tile adhesive. Fit the stainless steel grate only once the finished floor is complete, so you can cover and protect the drain body during the build.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal outlet on a shower drain?

A vertical outlet connects straight downwards, which applies when the waste pipe passes through the floor construction. A horizontal outlet is designed for situations where the pipe exits sideways through a wall or upstand. Always check the direction of your existing waste pipe before ordering.

Is Ø50 mm the standard connection size for a shower drain?

Yes, Ø50 mm is the common size for shower waste outlets in residential properties and complies with standard plumbing specifications. If you're unsure, measure the outside diameter of your existing pipe: a Ø50 mm waste pipe typically has an outside diameter of approximately 50 mm and connects directly to this drain.

Can this shower drain be cast into a resin screed floor?

Yes, the PVC body is suitable for casting in. Make sure the drain is perfectly level and fixed at the correct height before you pour the screed. Cover the grate opening during pouring to prevent screed material from entering the waste outlet.
