Material sourcing guide

Sanitary drainage materials

Build a clear request for floor gullies, traps, siphons and internal drainage fittings. Separate each outlet, its connecting path and the waterproofing interface so suppliers can price the same drainage scope.

01 / Materials & uses

Start with the right material groups.

Floor gullies and outlets

List each gully by floor, room type and outlet position. Separate the visible body from the trap, grating and any connection piece.

Traps and siphons

Identify traps and siphons by connection size, seal type and access point. Group items serving the same line but keep each unit measurable.

Internal drainage fittings

Cover bends, branches, reducers and adapters between the outlet and the main stack. State which side of each connection belongs to this package.

02 / Package boundaries

A material price is only part of the package.

Your material schedule
01Floor gullies and outlets
02Traps and siphons
03Internal drainage fittings

One schedule, clearly separated scopes. This is a request outline, not an installation drawing.

Included materials

List floor gully bodies, traps, siphons, gratings and internal drainage fittings as separate measurable lines.

Connections & interfaces

Identify the interface with waterproofing, screed, floor finish and the main drainage pipe for each connected outlet.

Confirm separately

Confirm cleaning, handling, installation and the leak tests or commissioning specified by the project as included or separately provided responsibilities.

03 / A comparable request

Six details that make offers clearer.

Product designation and location
Enter the exact product name, room or zone reference, and the outlet position required by the approved layout.
Flow path and outlet size
Record the prescribed flow requirement, outlet diameter and the direction of the connected pipe run.
Trap and seal configuration
State the required trap form, access point and seal depth for each outlet. Note where a separate cleanout is specified.
Grating and cover finish
Describe the visible grating or cover finish, load requirement and whether the finish must match the surrounding floor material.
Connection and waterproofing interface
Ask for the connection detail between the drainage body, screed and waterproofing layer as defined in the project package.
Documents and packaging
Request referenced product sheets, declared deviations and packaging details by line item and delivery phase.

Example quantities only; no live prices or supplier offers. Use your project schedule for final values and ask suppliers to list deviations.

04 / Compare the whole offer

Three checks before you decide.

Outlet body versus complete gully

Compare whether the price includes the grating, trap, clamping ring and connection adapter before selecting the lower total.

Each floor type and finish

Check the cover finish and floor build-up for each room. A gully suited to one screed depth may not fit another.

Drainage line and shared fittings

Confirm which supplier provides the pipe between the outlet and the stack, especially where multiple floors share one riser.

05 / Practical questions

Details worth clarifying early.

Should floor gullies and drainage pipes be requested together?

Keep them in separate line groups within the same request. The gully package covers the outlet and its immediate trap, while the pipe line lists the connected run and fittings.

How do I describe a gully when the room finish is not final?

Enter the approved floor build-up and the planned finish reference. Ask the supplier to state cover options compatible with that build-up instead of guessing one.

What should I list for a bathroom with multiple outlets?

Create one line for each outlet position, including the shower gully, floor drain and any visible siphon. This keeps quantities traceable when positions change.
