Why Ultra Drain Plus

Engineered for strength


1

Clip-in alloy topThe alloy top clips into the base. Once the channel is haunched in concrete, the surrounding compression holds it firmly in place.

2

Wall-locking armUDP 130 has an innovative wall-locking arm so the walls stay 100% rigid on commercial projects.

3

Tamper-resistantThe alloy top and base can be locked together to stop tampering in public spaces such as hospitals and parks.

4

UV protectedThe alloy top covers the top edge of the base, eliminating potential UV issues.

5

In-built 6° fallEvery UDP base has a 6° fall built in to help reduce, if not eliminate, water pooling.

6

Interlocking joinsThe interlocking system joins seamlessly inside the channel, and gluing the outside gives exceptional joint strength.

7

Honeycomb optionThe alternative honeycomb top in 6063A aluminium alloy adds strength and makes trapped leaves easier to clear.

8

Built to lastAll PVC components are virgin PVC with a high level of UV inhibitor for a trouble-free, long-lasting product, and are 100% recyclable.

9

Fits DWV pipeAll UDP parts are made to fit standard DWV piping dimensions.

Engineered for strength. Designed for performance. Built to last.
