The Zurn Z400J is a finish-floor drain designed to offer both subtle aesthetics and dependable performance. Ideal for spaces like showers, restrooms, lobbies, and other finished interior areas where both appearance and drainage must align seamlessly.

Key Features

  • Flush, Low-Profile Grate: The grate is engineered to sit nearly level with surrounding floor finishes—such as tile, stone, or other decorative surfaces—so it blends into the floor plane without drawing attention.

  • Durable, Water-Resistant Construction: Built with materials that can withstand moisture, regular foot traffic, and constant exposure to wet conditions while maintaining integrity over time.

  • Waterproofing & Debris Control Integration: Designed to interface securely with the floor’s waterproofing membrane and includes a grate or strainer mechanism that helps block debris from entering the drainage path, supporting consistent flow and easier maintenance.

Zurn Z400J – “Type J” Rectangular Strainer with Slotted Openings (Heel-Proof)

The Z400J is a rectangular, adjustable, light-duty heel-proof strainer head with a secured slotted grate—a clean finish-floor top that pairs with Zurn Z415 drain bodies for showers and interior floors.

In technical terms, Z400J is furnished as a “Type J” rectangular strainer with a Dura-Coated cast-iron head, polished frame, and secured slotted grate, available in polished bronze (ZB) or polished nickel bronze (ZN). In plain English: it’s the low-profile rectangular top that sets flush, looks sharp, and keeps small wheels and heels safe.
