Technical Specifications

Complete dimensions, flow rates, pressure ratings, materials, and certification data for all 8 Green Drain waterless trap seal models.

Quick overview.

All Green Drain models use the same patented silicone valve design. They differ in pipe size, flow capacity, and available certifications. Every model is a drop-in install with no tools required.

Model Pipe Size DN Height Flow Rate (C) Flow Rate (U) Key Application
GD125 1.25" DN32 26 mm 7.27 L/min 29.22 L/min Fixture drains, sinks, bidets
GD15 1.5" DN40 28 mm 24.21 L/min 51.55 L/min Showers, laundry, residential
GD2 2" DN50 33 mm 35.25 L/min 82.50 L/min Residential and light commercial
GD3 3" DN80 51 mm 40.65 L/min 105.70 L/min Commercial floor drains
GD35 3.5" DN90 51 mm 121.60 L/min 323.17 L/min Food service, commercial kitchens
GD4 4" DN100 51 mm 276.3 L/min ≥340 L/min Commercial, institutional (most common)
GD5 5" DN125 42 mm 270 L/min 391 L/min Industrial floor drains
GD6 6" DN150 51 mm 535 L/min ≥550 L/min Industrial, high-capacity drains

Level C = controlled flow rate per ASSE 1072-2020. Level U = unrestricted flow rate. All values from IAPMO testing (File No. 9301).

Dimensions.

All measurements from IAPMO-certified testing. Housing diameter is measured without the compression gasket. Overall dimensions include the silicone gasket for fit verification.

Model Pipe Size Height Housing Dia. (no gasket) Overall Width (with gasket) Overall Height (with gasket)
GD125 1.25" / DN32 26 mm 30.27 mm (1.192") 40.22 mm (1.583") 27.45 mm (1.081")
GD15 1.5" / DN40 28 mm 36.46 mm (1.435") 48.77 mm (1.920") 30.18 mm (1.188")
GD2 2" / DN50 33 mm 42.66 mm (1.680") 60.55 mm (2.384") 32.7 mm (1.287")
GD3 3" / DN80 51 mm 61.49 mm (2.421") 82.76 mm (3.258") 50.5 mm (1.988")
GD35 3.5" / DN90 51 mm 78.75 mm (3.100") 97.46 mm (3.837") 50.82 mm (2.001")
GD4 4" / DN100 51 mm 88.39 mm (3.480") 108.56 mm (3.274") 50.7 mm (1.996")
GD5 5" / DN125 42 mm 96.5 mm (3.878") 134.80 mm (5.310") 42.21 mm (1.662")
GD6 6" / DN150 51 mm 150.2 mm (5.400") 159 mm (6.260") 50.8 mm (1.462")

All dimensions are nominal. Silicone gasket compresses during insertion for a watertight seal. Measure the internal diameter of your drain outlet, not the pipe size, for proper fit.

Flow rates.

Flow rates tested under ASSE 1072-2020 (Level C and Level U) by IAPMO, and independently verified by DTI (Danish Technological Institute) under EAD 180020-00-0704. DTI values represent real-world drainage capacity.

Model ASSE Level C ASSE Level U DTI Flow Capacity GPM Equivalent
GD125 7.27 L/min 29.22 L/min - 1.9 GPM (C)
GD15 24.21 L/min 51.55 L/min - 6.4 GPM (C)
GD2 35.25 L/min 82.50 L/min 45.4 L/min (0.85 L/s) 9.3 GPM (C)
GD3 40.65 L/min 105.70 L/min 128.7 L/min (1.5 L/s) 10.7 GPM (C)
GD35 121.60 L/min 323.17 L/min 193.0 L/min (2.3 L/s) 32.1 GPM (C)
GD4 276.3 L/min ≥340 L/min 276.3 L/min (1.4 L/s) 73.0 GPM (C)
GD5 270 L/min 391 L/min 276.3 L/min (4.0 L/s) 71.3 GPM (C)
GD6 535 L/min ≥550 L/min - 141.3 GPM (C)

Level C = controlled flow. Level U = unrestricted/surge flow. GPM values calculated from Level C data. DTI data from Rapport 957187 and Test Report 226049.

Pressure and performance ratings.

Pressure resistance tested by DTI under EAD 180020-00-0704 and EN 1253-1. ASSE 1072-2020 performance data from IAPMO testing. These values determine suitability for specific building and plumbing code requirements.

Model Pressure Resistance (DTI) Odour Tightness (CE) Opening Force Cycle Life Evaporation Reduction
GD125 - 200 Pa - - -
GD15 - 200 Pa - - -
GD2 661 Pa 200 Pa - - -

GD5 610 Pa 200 Pa - - -
GD6 - 200 Pa - - -

Odour tightness of 200 Pa applies to all models per CE/ETA-18/0536. Opening force, cycle life, and evaporation reduction are ASSE 1072-2020 metrics reported for the GD4 (most common commercial size). All models meet the same ASSE 1072-2020 standard.

Materials and construction.

All Green Drain models share the same material construction. The silicone valve membrane has been independently tested by CRT Laboratories for tear strength, chemical resistance, UV exposure, and temperature performance.

Housing ABS Plastic Impact-resistant, dimensionally stable, UV-resistant
Valve Membrane Silicone Rubber Medical-grade, 93x tear strength over minimum, rated -40°F to 212°F (-40°C to 100°C)
Seal Gasket Silicone Gasket Compression seal for watertight fit, chemical-resistant
