MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Zurn announced the launch of its new POD Pro H-Top Drain on October 1, 2025, engineered specifically for POD construction and ideal for use with vinyl flooring. Designed to streamline installation and enhance jobsite flexibility, the H-Top Drain reduces labor time while providing the flexibility needed for both new construction and retrofit applications.
“We want to be sure that our solutions save time without compromising on the high-quality products people expect from Zurn’s drainage solutions,” said DJ Wolbert, Director of Product Management & Engineering – Flow Systems at Zurn Elkay. “The low-profile with a patented drop-in outlet provide cost and labor savings for upgrades and new builds.”
With a shallow 1” assembly height, the POD Pro H-Top Drain reduces flooring costs while delivering a seamless installation that clamps directly to the finished surface. The integral clamping frame is specifically designed for resilient surfaces, such as vinyl flooring, ensuring a secure, smooth fit. Three securing flanges provide reliable mechanical fastening across a variety of flooring types, while ADA and heel-proof compliance enhance safety. The drain is available in both stainless and nickel bronze finished to meet diverse project requirements.
“We designed this product with universal use in mind,” Wolbert said. “A universal body fits with multiple strainers and outlet configurations, and the shallow assembly height allows finished floor and water proofing membrane to remain intact while avoiding obstructions.”
