Sol-O-Matic® Drain Troughs offer a superior solution for managing water flow and debris in your commercial laundry facility. Here are the key features and their benefits:
Customizable Length
Our drain troughs can be manufactured to any desired length, ensuring a perfect fit for your specific laundry layout. No more struggling with awkward gaps or excess trough material.
Dual Lint Filters
No more clogged drains! Sol-O-Matic troughs feature dual lint filters that effectively trap debris before it enters the plumbing system. This reduces maintenance needs and helps prevent costly downtime.
Flexible Drain Outlet Placement
The drain outlet can be installed on the front, sides, or bottom of the trough, providing maximum installation flexibility. This allows you to optimize your plumbing configuration for the best possible functionality.
Odor Control & Splash Prevention
Sol-O-Matic troughs come standard with a sturdy lid that helps reduce unpleasant odors and prevents water from splashing out. This creates a more hygienic and comfortable work environment for your staff.
Pedestrian-Safe Lid
The lid is designed to withstand pedestrian traffic, ensuring safety and preventing accidental damage.
Suds Containment
The lid also helps contain excess suds, keeping your laundry area clean and slip-free.
Built-in Slope
For optimal drainage, Sol-O-Matic troughs feature a built-in slope that naturally directs water towards the drain. This eliminates the risk of standing water and potential flooding.
Washing Machine Discharge Options
Washing machine discharge drains can be conveniently installed on the top or sides of the trough, providing a clean and organized drainage solution.

Product Specifications
Sol-O-Matic offers the industry's fastest design and build turnaround time, ensuring your Sol-O-Matic bulkheads are ready before your equipment arrives. For a cost-effective solution, choose from a basic frame and panel system or opt for a complete, UL-approved turnkey unit that includes all utilities and your preferred plumbing option—copper, PVC, or PEX.
Additionally, purchasing factory-made Sol-O-Matic UPC-certified bulkheads alongside your laundry equipment can potentially qualify your entire project for financing, which may not be possible with a site-built option.
