Linear drains
Wiper VF linear drain for vinyl floors
A stainless steel linear drain with a clamping frame that locks sheet vinyl to the drain. It goes wherever the room needs it, and your fitter forms the falls towards it.

The drain
What the Wiper VF gives you
-
Mechanical clamping frame
Screwed down over the vinyl, it seals the edge and holds it in place so it cannot lift or peel back.
-
Grade 304 stainless steel
A brushed stainless steel channel, 30 mm high and 78 mm wide, 160 mm across including the flange.
-
Kind to the vinyl edge
The frame is contoured to reduce premature wear on the vinyl where it meets the drain.
-
Six waste trap options
From the 46 mm H+M Snake for shallow floors to the vertical McAlpine V50 for getting past joists.
-
Cleaned from above
Lift the grating with the hook that comes with it and the trap is right there to clean.
-
Goes anywhere
No tray to work around. The drain can go wherever the design needs it, with the falls formed towards it.
Grates
Three grates, one drain
All three fit the same drain and share the same technical properties, so choose the one you like the look of. Each is brushed stainless steel and lifts out for cleaning.
-
Ponente
A plain, unbroken steel top.
-
Mistral
Round perforations in mixed sizes.
-
Sirocco
Rows of small square perforations.
Waste traps
Pick the trap for your floor depth
Every drain ships with a McAlpine HC26-50 unless you pick another trap at checkout. Pick by the depth under the floor first, then by flow.
| Trap | Height | Flow | Seal depth | When to pick it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| McAlpine HC26-50 (supplied) | 68 mm | 26 l/min | 20 mm | Normal floor depth, 1.5 inch UK waste pipe |
| H+M Drop 35 | 63 mm | 48 l/min | 35 mm | Low floor, but you still want high flow |
| H+M Drop 50 | 78 mm | 48 l/min | 50 mm | You need a 50 mm seal (DIN EN 1253) |
| H+M Snake | 46 mm | 36 l/min | 25 mm | The shallowest floors |
| H+M Snake 360 | 50 mm | 32 l/min | 25 mm | Shallow floor, awkward pipe route |
| McAlpine Vertical V50 | 132 mm | 52 l/min | 25 mm | The waste has to drop straight down past joists |
Heights, flows and seals as listed by Wetrooms Design for each trap. Ask the team for the total installation depth of your drain and trap together.
