Drain Troughs

High Mark began manufacturing drain troughs that come with filters already installed in 2004 in an effort to meet many jurisdictions’ requirement that laundry facilities catch the lint before it enters their sewer systems.

Our drain troughs eliminate the need for customers to purchase a drain system and then a lint filter separately, saving them the hassle involved with maintaining traditional filters and cluttering the bulkhead with PVC pipe.

Lint traps cost $5,000 on average. Since High Mark’s drain toughs include filters, the cost of the trough as well as its maintenance is substantially less.

Drain troughs are used in lieu of the PVC system and, if purchased with the bulkhead, come pre-installed in the bulkhead, pre-sloped and ready for hook-up. You can also install the drain trough below ground, leaving more room in the bulkhead for servicing machines.

High Mark drain trough features include:

• Made of sturdy, 3/8” ABS plastic, which doesn’t corrode

• Strong enough to support light foot traffic

• Washers can drain in the side or top

• Place drains on either end or on the bottom

• Lint screens made from ¼” PVC with 3/8” holes on ¾” spacing

• Lint screens include built-in safety overflow cutouts

• Install the lint screen anywhere, depending on your drain location

• Hinged lid over drain trough’s lint screen area keeps debris out

• Additional support for drain troughs installed underground accommodates pressure of a concrete pour

• Quicker, easier and less expensive to install than PVC direct-drain systems

• Sized to accommodate a complete dump of all machines at once

• Approved as a lint-filtration system in most cities nationwide

• Excellent choice for either coin laundries or OPL
