Aco Polymer Products 37242 4 Ft Square Design Shower Grate

Product Description

The ACO POLYMER PRODUCTS 37242 is a 4-foot square-pattern design grate engineered for linear shower drain systems in residential and commercial wet-area applications. Constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel, the grate delivers corrosion resistance suited for high-moisture environments including spas, hospitals, aged care facilities, and boutique hotels. Slot openings measure 0.31 inches or less, meeting heel-resistant requirements under ASME A112.6.3. The grate also satisfies ADA requirements as defined in The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 4.5.4, making it a direct solution for universal design and barrier-free bathroom installations.

The 37242 grate is part of the Q-Plus product line, which targets installations where hygiene, corrosion resistance, and accessibility are primary concerns. It is suitable for both linear channel shower configurations and traditional hub shower designs. The Q-Plus system supports the elimination of physical floor barriers for a flush, contemporary finish. Compatible channel bodies in the Q-Plus line are available in three standard lengths: 27 inches, 36 inches, and 48 inches. The ABS plastic channel body features a shallow V profile to direct water flow toward the outlet and measures 46.69 inches x 2.76 inches x 3.50 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards.

Verify the grate seating and flange connection are secure and level with the finished floor surface. Do not overtighten fasteners on the stainless steel grate to avoid deformation of the frame.
