The Zurn Z400BL is a finish-floor drain purposefully crafted to disappear into premium flooring while delivering dependable drainage. It’s ideal for environments like bathrooms, showers, spa areas, and other interior spaces where maintaining the aesthetic integrity of finished floors is essential.

Key Features

  • Flush, Slim Grate Design: The drain’s grate is designed to sit nearly flush with the surrounding finished floor—whether tile, stone, or other decorative surfaces—minimizing visual disruption.

  • Robust Construction: Engineered for resilience, the Z400BL is built to withstand moisture, regular use, and the challenges typical to wet environments.

  • Waterproofing & Debris Control: Designed to integrate securely with the floor’s waterproofing membrane and prevent debris ingress via the grate or strainer system, helping maintain consistent flow and reduce clogging.

Zurn Z400BL – “Type BL” Round Strainer with Beveled Louvered (Heel-Proof) Openings

The Z400BL is a round, adjustable, light-duty strainer head featuring beveled louvered slots for heel-proof performance and a secured top for predictable maintenance. It mates with Zurn Z415 bodies for finish-floor and shower applications.

In technical terms, Z400BL is furnished as a “Type BL” round head with a secured louvered grate and adjustable shank, offered in architectural finishes like polished bronze (ZB) and polished nickel bronze (ZN). In plain English: it’s the clean, low-profile round top that sets flush, keeps heels and small wheels safe, and streamlines service.
