Zurn Z554 – 9" Medium-Duty Drain with Sur-Set Bucket

A 9" diameter, medium-duty area drain pairing a Dura-Coated cast-iron body, seepage pan, and combination membrane flashing clamp & frame with a slotted cast-iron grate and furnished Sur-Set sediment bucket. Ideal for plazas, decks, garage levels, and busy walkways.

The Zurn Z554 is engineered for reliable point drainage in exposed hardscape. In technical terms, it’s a coated cast-iron drain with bottom outlet, seepage pan, and a combination clamp & frame—furnished with a medium-duty slotted grate and Sur-Set bucket. In plain English: it ties cleanly into waterproofing, catches debris before it enters the line, and stays simple to service.

Where Z554 Excels

Case Study: Mixed-Use Plaza Retrofit

A retail-residential plaza experienced ponding near expansion-joint intersections. The retrofit standardized on Zurn Z554 drains with 3" No-Hub outlets and -TS secured tops. Maintenance reported faster surface drawdown and quicker service intervals; the Sur-Set bucket captured grit and leaves before they reached the line, cutting downstream jetting visits in half over the first rainy season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Sur-Set bucket do?
It’s a removable debris bucket that sits in the drain under the grate. It captures sand, leaves, and fines so they don’t clog the line—making clean-outs quicker.
Which outlet connection should I specify?
Use NH or NL for 2"–4" systems depending on your piping and detailing. A 4" IP threaded outlet is also available. Confirm on the submittal for your exact SKU.
Are bronze or nickel-bronze tops available?
Yes—specify prefixes ZB (polished bronze) or ZN (polished nickel-bronze) for finished areas; base model Z is cast iron.
