Zurn Z535 – Heavy-Duty Parking Structure Drain

Built for exposed garages and ramps, the Zurn Z535 pairs a rugged square top and hinged slotted grate with a clamping collar and sediment control for reliable deck drainage.

The Z535 is a square-top, heavy-duty parking structure drain engineered to capture runoff at the deck surface and protect the waterproofing interface. In technical terms, it features an oven-cured, acid-resistant epoxy-coated aluminum body (A.R.C.) with a bottom outlet, top membrane clamping collar, anti-ponding slots, sediment bucket, and a heavy-duty anti-tilt hinged slotted grate—it drains fast, stands up to traffic, and is easy to service.

Case Study: City Garage Ramp Regrade

A municipal garage experienced ponding and winter icing at ramp low points. The retrofit specified Zurn Z535 drains with 6" No-Hub outlets and locking, hinged grates. After one storm season, maintenance logs showed faster stormwater removal, fewer freeze-thaw issues along joints, and safer pedestrian paths near transitions—while the hinged tops made inspections quicker.
