How to Size a Tile Insert Shower Drain for Your Water Flow

Start with Flow Capacity, Not Drain Dimensions

To select a tile insert floor drain for a shower, compare the drain’s rated discharge capacity with the shower’s maximum water flow. Also check that the connected drainage system can carry the same volume away. A drain’s external dimensions alone cannot show whether it will keep pace with the shower.

The ODO-006-KH is listed at 100 × 100 × 25 mm, with customized dimensions available. However, its supplied product information does not include a flow-rate rating or outlet details. Ask for those specifications before deciding whether it suits your installation.

What to Check Before Choosing

• Rated flow capacity: Obtain the drain’s capacity and compare it with the shower’s maximum flow rate.
• Outlet and connection: Confirm the outlet configuration and compatibility with the planned drainage pipework.
• Floor fit: Check the drain dimensions against the tile layout and available installation depth.
• Order quantity: The listed minimum order quantity for the ODO-006-KH is 20 pieces.

ODO-006-KH Product Details

The ODO-006-KH is described as a floor drain made from 304 stainless steel. Its listed size is 100 × 100 × 25 mm, and a 2.0 mm thickness and customized dimensions are also specified. Available finishes include brushed steel, PVD brushed grey, gold and black, baked lacquer, and chrome. These details help assess material, appearance, and fit, but they do not establish drainage performance.

ODO lists wet rooms and shower rooms among the intended application settings for its drainage products. The company profile describes its Foshan operation as specializing in floor drains and bathroom accessories, with 14 quality-control stages. Listed credentials include floor drain CE certificate AiTSZ-250718038RC09 and utility patent certificate 16949879 for the ODO-D114 invisible floor drain. Neither record provides a flow rating for the ODO-006-KH.

Project References and Their Limits

ODO reports supplying anti-odor floor drains and heated towel rails for a hotel renovation in Warsaw. For a luxury villa development in Italy, the supplied products included tile-insert invisible drains, wall niches, and bathroom accessory sets. These examples show project supply experience, but no measured shower flow rates or drain capacity figures are reported.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a 100 × 100 mm drain necessarily handle my shower?

No. The outside dimensions do not indicate how much water the drain can discharge. The available ODO-006-KH information does not state a flow-rate rating.

Which specifications should I request?

Ask for the rated drainage capacity, outlet configuration, and installation requirements. Compare the capacity with the shower’s maximum flow rate, then confirm that the outlet matches the planned drainage system.

Is another size available?

Customized dimensions are listed for the product. Confirm the available options and make sure any custom version meets the project’s flow, connection, and installation requirements.

Recommendation

Choose a tile insert drain based on verified flow capacity, outlet compatibility, and floor fit. Do not treat the ODO-006-KH’s 100 × 100 × 25 mm dimensions as evidence of its drainage capacity. The listing also notes OEM and ODM services, a 2-year product warranty, and a minimum order of 20 pieces. For technical details or product assistance, contact charlene@seosodo.com.
