Zurn Z541 – 12" Heavy-Duty Drain

A 12" class heavy-duty area drain with a Dura-Coated cast-iron body, bottom outlet, seepage pan, and combination membrane flashing clamp & frame—finished with an anti-tilt, heavy-duty slotted grate and a suspended sediment bucket. Ideal for plazas, decks, ramps, garages, and industrial slabs.

In technical terms, the Zurn Z541 is a 12-1/4" (nom.) diameter top drain that integrates waterproofing, captures surface flow, and simplifies maintenance. In plain English: it’s a tough, serviceable point drain that ties cleanly into membranes and keeps debris out of the line.

Key Features

  • 12-1/4" nominal top with heavy-duty heel-proof slotted grate for dependable inflow at point drains.
  • Dura-Coated cast-iron body with bottom outlet for longevity and straightforward tie-ins.
  • Seepage pan + combination flashing clamp & frame to integrate membranes and toppings cleanly.
  • Suspended sediment bucket to trap grit and leaves before they reach the line (furnished on common builds).
  • Open area (typical grate): about 30 in²—sized for medium/heavy surface runoff.

Where Z541 Excels

Specify Z541 for parking decks, campus plazas, ramps, and light-industrial floors where a compact, rugged drain is needed. The clamp/frame assembly streamlines waterproofing tie-ins; the round, anti-tilt grate resists rocking under foot and cart traffic.

Installation Highlights

1) Set & Anchor

Place the body at rough elevation and anchor per detail; verify positive slope to the drain across the slab or paver bed.

2) Waterproof & Frame

Integrate the seepage pan and clamp/frame with the membrane; protect the assembly during pours/overlays.

3) Commission & Maintain

Install/secure the grate; confirm bucket placement; schedule seasonal clean-outs—especially ahead of heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles.

Case Study: Plaza Low-Point Upgrade

A mixed-use plaza had nuisance ponding at expansion-joint intersections. The engineer standardized on Zurn Z541 drains with 3" No-Hub outlets and -TS secured tops. After the first rainy season, maintenance reported faster drawdown and fewer slip-hazard calls; the suspended bucket captured grit and leaves, cutting downstream jetting visits in half.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which outlet connection should I specify?
Match to your piping: No-Hub (NH) for cast-iron systems, Neo-Loc (NL) for compression fit, or Threaded (IP) for steel. Select IC/IG variants exist for specific detailing. Sizes commonly range from 2"–4" (extended sizes available in some NH builds).
Is a sediment bucket included?
Most Z541 configurations furnish a suspended polypropylene sediment bucket to simplify clean-outs and reduce downstream clogging. Verify the exact furnish on your submittal.
Are bronze or nickel-bronze tops available?
Yes—use prefixes ZB (polished bronze) or ZN (polished nickel-bronze) for finished areas; base prefix Z is cast iron.
