Physical Properties 

Materials 

  • Brass designs are still available and remain popular for their durability. This would typically be the body casting. Poppet and flange would be stainless. 
  • Composite body designs provide durability, lighter weight and improved corrosion resistance. 

Outlets 

  • Type and size can be customized 
  • Outlet location can be customized 
  • Straight down 
  • Angled down 
  • A specific clocking 
  • Adjustable clocking 

Poppet 

  • We offer traditional pop-up poppets 
  • We offer traditional pop-up poppets with anti-theft option 
  • We offer internal poppets. These include a screen at the flange location. This catches debris (typically from paper towels in the lavatory) and prevents it from interfering with poppet closure. When poppets collect debris, they can no longer close properly. Water retention can thus be compromised, and cabin air can create a whistling noise. 

Screens 

  • We offer removable screens on some drains. These are primarily designed for galley use to prevent any galley debris from being washed into the drain. These screens can be removed and emptied once full.

SEALED,  SPRING-LOADED,  DO-160 TESTED

All our drain systems offer essential features that keep water securely in the sink basin. Designed with passenger well-being in mind, they feature a spring-loaded mechanism that ensures a snug closure. This feature is especially critical on smaller aircraft, where maintaining an optimal cabin air pressure level is paramount. As a testament to our dedication to quality and airworthiness, all our sink drains undergo DO-160 testing.
