Engineered for Cleanliness. Built for Performance.

The SS Series™ is a collection of stainless steel trench drain systems designed for environments where hygiene, sanitation, and durability are non-negotiable. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with smooth, easy-to-clean channel profiles, SS Series drains support efficient washdown, reduce bacteria buildup, and meet the demands of food processing, commercial kitchens, pharmaceutical facilities, healthcare, and other sanitary applications.

The collection includes the SS500 Series™, a shallow stainless steel drainage system ideal for small commercial spaces with limited depth, the SS600 Series™, the most popular and versatile option designed to maximize flow capacity for a wide range of commercial projects, and the SS1200 Series™, a wide, high-capacity trench drain engineered for heavy-duty commercial applications requiring increased hydraulic performance and load ratings. Together, the SS Series delivers a scalable, professional-grade drainage solution that balances performance, compliance, and long-term reliability.

The SS500 Series™ is exclusively available through Trench Drain Systems. This shallow stainless steel drainage system is specifically designed for small commercial markets. The 6.25″ (OD) 16 gauge stainless steel channels feature a built-in 0.5% slope. Stainless U-shaped channels come in 48″ and 96″ lengths with neutral channels to allow for longer runs. Custom sections are available.

For longer runs, the SS500 Series™ has been configured to bridge to the SS600™ series. This will also increase the overall depth of the entire system. Channels connect with a neoprene gasket and bolts on a flanged connection with a smooth U-shaped profile. Bottom outlets are available in 2″, 3″ and 4″ diameters. Tee sections, 90° elbows, catch basins and debris strainers are also available. Bottom outlets can be utilized on every fifth channel. To reach your full run length, select a channel with an outlet, then add channels upstream to the desired length of your total run.
