Jones Stephens d53-325 Pvc Drain Base Nickel Bronze

Product Description

The JONES STEPHENS d53-325 is a 3-inch PVC inside pipe fit floor drain base designed for use in commercial and residential plumbing drain systems. It includes a 2-inch plastic spud, a 4-inch round nickel bronze strainer, and a 1/2-inch primer tap for code-required trap primer connections. The PVC body accepts inside pipe fit connections, making it suitable for installations where the drain body fits inside the pipe rather than over it. The strainer is 3/16 inches thick and available in polished brass or nickel bronze finishes. Licensed plumbers install this drain as part of floor drain rough-in work on new construction or renovation projects.

This drain base is used in floor drain applications in both residential and light commercial settings where a 3-inch pipe connection is required. The adjustable strainer height accommodates finish floor variations. The primer tap port allows connection to an automatic trap primer system, which is required by many plumbing codes to prevent trap evaporation in infrequently used drains. The 4-inch nickel bronze cover provides a finished appearance while protecting the drain opening from debris.

Key Features

• 3-inch inside pipe fit PVC drain body for straightforward connection to 3-inch drain lines
• 4-inch round nickel bronze strainer, 3/16 inches thick, for durability at the floor surface
• 2-inch plastic spud included for outlet connection
• 1/2-inch primer tap allows direct connection to trap primer systems
• Adjustable strainer elevation to accommodate varying finished floor heights
• Strainers also available in polished brass finish

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation floor drain component for 3-inch PVC inside pipe fit drain applications requiring a primer tap and nickel bronze strainer cover.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and ensure the drain system is clear before beginning rough-in work. The primer tap connection must be plumbed to a code-approved trap primer device where required by the authority having jurisdiction. Do not overtighten the spud connection against the PVC body, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
