Drain Valves

Ital understands the importance of all components that make up a complete and safe shower. A key element is the drain valve — a part that connects the shower tray to the drainage system of your bathroom. Without a functional valve, water will accumulate in the tray and will not drain away. The Ital catalog offers a wide range of drain valves, and all shower trays supplied by the company are equipped with a valve specifically designed for proper drainage and safe use.

What are drain valves and how do they work?

They consist of a cover or grid, which is the visible part and can be lifted for internal cleaning, and a stainless steel clamp on the upper part of the shower tray, which screws into the valve below. A flat gasket with high resistance seals both parts, preventing leaks. It is important never to loosen or remove the screws, as this will compromise the waterproofing of the tray. Ital drain valve dealers in Ukraine provide users with complete information on usage rules.

Depending on the model of the shower tray, the valve has either a cover or a grid. Some trays feature a round cover made of chrome-plated ABS plastic, while others have a flat cover with a stainless steel grid.

Ital offers a variety of high-quality models and types to guarantee flawless performance of your shower tray throughout its service life. Read reviews of Ital drain valves from users and you will see that this is premium-quality equipment.

Solving the most common valve problems

• Slow or blocked drainage. If water accumulates in the tray or drains too slowly, the valve or drainpipe may be clogged. You can use a liquid cleaner or attempt to remove the blockage manually. Unscrew the valve cover and remove visible debris. If this does not solve the issue, partial disassembly of the drainpipe may be necessary.
• Leaks. If you notice water drops around the base of the valve, the gasket most likely needs replacement. Shut off the water supply, unscrew the valve, clean the mounting surface, replace the gasket, and reinstall the valve, tightening it firmly but not excessively. Turn the water back on and check for leaks.
• Valve damage. If the drain valve is damaged or faulty, it must be replaced. Turn off the water, remove the valve, clean the installation area, and apply new sealant or plumber’s tape if necessary. Install a new drain valve compatible with your shower tray. Turn the water back on and check for leaks before using the shower.

Thus, the drain valve is an essential part of your shower tray. Choose a high-quality valve to ensure durability, or order Ital drain valves wholesale from the manufacturer. A faulty or low-quality valve can cause significant damage to your home, while Ital products are always premium quality.
