ACO Bathroom Drainage Linear shower drains Installation Guide
Technical & planning considerations Accumulation and slopes ASME A112.6.3-2001 requires a 2“ outlet for shower applications. QuARTz by ACO channels have this as standard. The flow value for a 2" outlet varies depending upon the head of water above the grating. In the case of shower channels, a head of water is not typical in practice, due to shallower floor grades. Floor drains can have a head of water due to ‘basin’ profile of floor grades.
