When it comes to effective surface drainage, every detail matters. From material quality to flow direction. One of the most effective design features ensuring water flows efficiently is the Fall to Outlet (F2O).
At Strip Drains, we can design our custom wedge wire drains and tile insert drains, as engineered with a built-in fall to outlet for superior water movement and long-term reliability.
What Is “Fall to Outlet” (F2O)?
“Fall to Outlet” refers to the gradual slope built into the drain body that directs water toward the outlet point. Without this engineered gradient, water can remain inside the channel, causing pooling, blockages, or unpleasant odours.
A well-designed F2O ensures:
- Consistent water flow to the outlet
- Improved self-cleaning action within the drain
- Prevention of standing water, reducing bacteria and corrosion
- Reliable performance in bathrooms, balconies, and outdoor areas
Why We Manufacture Custom Strip Drains That Include F2O
At Strip Drains, we don’t leave efficient drainage to chance. From our custom manufactured bathroom drains to custom commercial systems, we can incorporate a precision-engineered fall to outlet (F2O) to specification.
This guarantees:
-
Faster and cleaner drainage performance

- Consistent flow across long drain runs
Our integrated fall design removes the need to tilt or modify the channel, the performance is built in.
F2O in Wedge Wire Drains
Our wedge wire strip drains combine architectural style with industrial strength. The built-in Fall to Outlet ensures rapid water clearance through the precision-cut wedge wire gaps.
Ideal for:
- High-end bathrooms
