Why choose a linear drain?
- The floor slopes in one direction, so you can use large-format tiles.
- Ideal for walk-in and curbless showers.
- A clean, minimal look that suits modern bathrooms.
Installation steps
- Choose the position, usually against a wall or at the shower entry.
- Install a 2" drain flange (sold separately) to connect to the drain line and trap.
- Use the adjustable feet to set the drain level and at the right height for your tile.
- Waterproof around the drain body according to your membrane maker's directions.
- Slope the mortar bed toward the drain, then tile up to the channel.
Cleaning
Lift the grate, remove the hair strainer, rinse, and replace. Doing this monthly keeps water flowing freely.
Need a longer channel? The Bisman range also comes in 18" and 24" lengths and a matte black finish.
Frequently asked questions

Is the drain flange included?

What does 304 stainless steel mean?
It is a common corrosion-resistant grade of stainless steel used for kitchen and bathroom fittings.
