Compliance

Metabronze and SPS floor drains meet the mandatory objectives and performance criteria of NZBC Clauses G13 and E1 by providing durable, watertight, and maintainable drainage solutions that protect buildings and occupants from the risks associated with foul and surface water.

Our SPS Drain and Cleanout Products are designed for the Plumbing and Drainage Industry and comply with the Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZ 3500.2.2. and are designed and manufactured to meet the relevant requirements of the New Zealand Building Code, specifically Clauses G13 (Foul Water) and E1 (Surface Water)

Quality

  • SPS Drains have obtained the coveted Watermark Certification
  • These drains are designed with the focus on superior water flow rates 
  • Metabronze & SPS Drains are made from high quality Bronze, Aluminium, thick wall PVC and Cast Iron and built for durability and longevity
  • Our products have decades of proven performance with tens of thousands of SPS/MB drains sold each year
  • We use LG2 bronze for our locally manufactured Clamtite Drains and wider range of plumbing fittings
  • High quality 304 high quality grade steel and surgical grade 316 stainless steel are materials used extensively for vinyl floor wastes, basket traps and podium drains    

Specification Drawings

For each drain, we have provided dimension data including;

  • The description of products outlining available materials used for their composition.
  • A near-scale PDF drawing of the drain range - CAD technical drawings available upon request.
  • Specification codes for drain sizes, grate variations, material grades, and optional extras.
  • Outlet, body, perimeter, and depth measurements detailed 
  • Examples of common applications for each drain
  • Compatible products, fittings & optional extras
  • Options for grate designs including heel-friendly, security, and flat-top variations.
  • Load class tolerances for weight-bearing drains.
  • Special features including security screws, non-slip surfaces, and polished finishes

Flow Rate Data

To assist with your selection of drains and determine the number of drains needed for the area being serviced, we have tested the water flow rates for the applicable range of our Metabronze and SPS roof & floor drains.

The testing has been carried out using specialised Flow Rate testing equipment. The results have been independently certified according to recognised NSC Gutter Outlet Testing procedures. 

On the Flow Rate section page of our website, flow rate testing data results for different water levels are detailed and visually displayed for each of the tested drains.     

Continuous Improvements

We are continuously working to stay ahead of needs associated with; changing weather patterns, modern roof & floor surfaces and systems, installation efficiency needs, security requirements and environmental concerns. 

We do this by;

  • Supplying materials that will withstand the harshest environments
  • Providing products that adhere to the highest sanitary standards
  • Providing cost-effective solutions for the increasing demand for longer-lasting products
  • Further concentrating on delivering water flow rate data
  • Meeting specialist facilities requirements such as correctional, health and aged care.
  • Meeting customer and project goals for environmental needs, sustainability, re-purposing, and re-cycling of building materials. 

 Cost Effectiveness

  • Our pricing remains competitive for a premium quality product.
  • We run a cost-effective business model.
  • Bronze is not as cheap as plastic; however, we believe this material will be more cost-effective over the lifespan of a building.
  • Interchangeable drain parts - bodies, rings, grates – enable the provision of a site-specific product at a more moderate cost.
  • Superior Flow Rates enables efficient management of surface water across larger areas
  • We can adjust our pricing for larger project needs; our goal is to help our customers become more competitive.
  • Existing designs can be customised to meet unique location requirements and individual needs.      

Sustainability

  • We use the highest quality materials to withstand the predicted extremes of our climate conditions.
  • Our Bronze drains may well last the lifetime of your buildings.
  • The high-quality metals and cast iron we use will last for many decades. 
  • Over 98% of our drains sold are made from materials that can be re-used or recycled. 
  • We will collaborate with you to support your Sustainability and Environmental goals.
