Tile Insert Floor Drain Channel Depth: What Ensures Reliable Flow?

Choosing the right channel depth is important when specifying a tile insert floor drain, but the available product data for the ODO-006-KH does not provide a minimum depth for flow. Its listed dimensions are 100 × 100 × 25 mm overall. That 25 mm figure describes the product's external height and should not be interpreted as the depth of its internal water channel.

What the Product Specifications Confirm

The ODO-006-KH is a tile insert floor drain made from stainless steel 304. The standard size is 100 × 100 × 25 mm, and the listed material thickness is 2.0 mm. Size and thickness can be customized; the product information also lists OEM and ODM services.

Neither the overall height nor the sheet thickness establishes the internal channel depth or drainage capacity. The supplied specifications do not state a channel-depth measurement, outlet configuration, or minimum depth needed to meet a particular flow rate.

How to Assess Drainage Requirements

In a tile insert drain, the top is designed to accept a compatible floor finish. Flow assessment should focus on the internal water path and outlet arrangement, alongside the site's drainage design. Before selecting the ODO-006-KH for a project, confirm its internal geometry and verify that it suits the floor build-up and required drainage performance.

This check is especially relevant for showers and wet rooms, where the broader product information references complete linear drain systems with waterproofing and odor-control features. Renovations with low-height floor assemblies also require careful coordination between the drain and the available installation depth.

The product information lists brushed steel, PVD brushed grey, gold, and black, baked lacquer, and chrome finishes. It also describes 14 quality-control processes. These details may help with finish and manufacturing selection, but they do not specify channel capacity or a required channel depth.

Product Data and Flow Considerations

Project Experience and Documentation

Recorded installations show tile-insert drains used in varied settings. An Italy luxury-villa project included 86 sets of invisible tile-insert drains alongside wall niches and bathroom accessories. A high-end residential development in Hanoi used 200 sets with wall niches and heated towel racks. These examples demonstrate applications of the product format, but neither record specifies channel depth.

ODO documentation includes the Floor drain CE AiTSZ-250718038RC09-CE-ROHS certificate for ODO CE floor drains and the ODO-D114 Dual-purpose Invisible Floor Drain Utility Patent Certificate, certificate number 16949879. These records relate to specified products and do not establish a channel-depth requirement for the ODO-006-KH.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 25 mm overall height indicate the drain's channel depth?

No. The listed 25 mm is part of the product's overall dimensions. The supplied specifications do not identify it as the depth of the internal water channel.

What minimum channel depth guarantees flow for the ODO-006-KH?

No minimum is stated in the available product data. Confirm the internal channel and outlet details with the supplier, then assess them against the project's drainage design and installation conditions.

Can the drain dimensions be adapted for a project?

Yes. The supplied information says the overall size and 2.0 mm thickness are customizable, and OEM/ODM service is available. Confirm any required dimensions and drainage details when requesting a project specification.

Specification Recommendation

The documented information supports describing the ODO-006-KH as a customizable, stainless steel 304 tile insert floor drain with standard dimensions of 100 × 100 × 25 mm. It does not support assigning a numerical internal channel depth or a guaranteed flow requirement. Obtain confirmation of the channel geometry, outlet arrangement, and project-specific drainage criteria before finalizing the selection. For technical assistance, contact charlene@seosodo.com.
