Global Drain Technologies Launches Installer-Friendly Drain Systems
Global Drain Technologies introduces slot drain, leveling, and floor integration solutions to simplify industrial drainage installation.

Global Drain Technologies has introduced a new range of installer-friendly drainage solutions designed to simplify installation and improve jobsite efficiency in industrial and commercial construction projects.
The updated product offering includes slot drains, leveling systems, and floor coating integration accessories, all engineered to reduce labor requirements while improving drainage performance.
Tabless slot drain design reduces installation effort
Traditional slot drain systems often use welded metal tabs to keep the drain body from tightening during installation. Once the concrete has cured, installers must manually remove these tabs—typically using pliers—which can be time-consuming and may risk damaging the drain edge or protective coating.
To address this challenge, Global Drain Technologies developed a tabless slot drain design featuring 3D-printed removable tabs. These tabs can be removed by hand, eliminating a labor-intensive step and helping contractors move more quickly from concrete pour to final finishing.
Faster alignment with E-Z leveling system
The company also introduced its E-Z leveling system, designed to simplify trench and slot drain alignment during installation.
The system enables installers to:
- Set leveling rods quickly and accurately
- Lock rods in place using a single bolt
- Tighten the assembly using a standard impact driver
This simplified mechanical design reduces time spent adjusting elevations while helping maintain the proper slope required for effective drainage.
KeyForm accessory simplifies floor coating integration
For facilities that use seamless resin floor coatings, GDT offers the KeyForm drainage accessory, an aluminum form designed to create a precise keyway around the drain perimeter during the concrete pour.
By forming the keyway directly during installation, the accessory:

By forming the keyway directly during installation, the accessory:
- Eliminates the need for manual cutting or chipping around the drain body
- Reduces dust and labor
- Improves bonding between liquid floor coatings and the drain system
Presloped drain design improves flow performance
GDT’s presloped slot drain systems feature an integrated internal slope that allows the drain surface to remain level while the drain body gradually deepens below the floor.
This configuration supports:

This configuration supports:
- Continuous water flow toward the outlet
- Improved debris transport
- Self-cleaning characteristics in industrial drainage systems
It also simplifies layout planning and grading during installation.
Support programs for installation partners
In addition to new product designs, Global Drain Technologies supports contractors through its Alliance Partner Program, which provides training, project referrals, and direct technical support.
The company also offers a Technical Resource Hub, where installers can access:
