How to Size a Tile Insert Shower Drain for Your Water Flow

Choosing a tile insert drain for a shower starts with matching its rated drainage capacity to the shower’s maximum flow. The drain must also connect properly to a drainage system that can carry the water away. The ODO-006-KH is listed at 100 × 100 × 25 mm, but its available product information does not state a flow rating or outlet details. Those specifications need to be confirmed before you can determine whether it suits a particular shower.

What to Check Before Choosing a Drain

Drain dimensions help establish whether a product will fit the floor design, but they do not indicate how much water it can discharge. Ask for the drain’s rated flow capacity, then compare it with the shower’s maximum flow rate. Also check the outlet configuration, connection compatibility, and installation requirements against the planned drainage system.

The product listing identifies the ODO-006-KH as a floor drain made from 304 stainless steel. Its standard dimensions are 100 × 100 × 25 mm, with customized dimensions available; a thickness of 2.0 mm is also listed. Finish options include brushed steel, PVD brushed grey, gold, black, baked lacquer, and chrome. These details describe its construction and appearance, not its water-flow performance.

ODO-006-KH Product and Project Information

ODO lists wet rooms and shower rooms as application scenarios for its drainage products. Its company profile says the Foshan operation specializes in floor drains and bathroom accessories and describes a 14-stage QC process. Listed credentials include floor drain CE certificate AiTSZ-250718038RC09 and utility patent certificate 16949879 for the ODO-D114 invisible floor drain. These credentials do not provide a flow-capacity rating for the ODO-006-KH.

ODO’s project examples include supplying anti-odor floor drains and heated towel rails for a hotel renovation in Warsaw, as well as tile-insert invisible drains, wall niches, and bathroom accessory sets for a luxury villa development in Italy. The examples describe products supplied, but do not report measured shower flows or drain performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a 100 × 100 mm drain necessarily handle my shower’s flow?

No. The outside dimensions alone cannot confirm drainage capacity. The available ODO-006-KH information does not include a flow-rate rating.

Which technical details should I request?

Ask for the rated drainage capacity, outlet configuration, and installation requirements. Compare the capacity with the shower’s maximum flow rate and verify that the outlet is compatible with the drainage system.

Are other ODO-006-KH sizes available?

Customized dimensions are listed. Confirm which sizes can be supplied, and check that the chosen version meets the project’s capacity and connection requirements.

Recommendation

Select a tile insert drain based on verified flow capacity, outlet compatibility, and floor fit. Do not treat the ODO-006-KH’s 100 × 100 × 25 mm dimensions as evidence of its drainage performance.
