Zurn Z508 – 9" Extra-Heavy-Duty Drain

A 9" diameter, extra-heavy-duty area drain with a Dura-Coated cast-iron body, bottom outlet, seepage pan, and a combination membrane flashing clamp & frame—topped by an extra-heavy-duty slotted grate for high-traffic hardscapes.

In technical terms, the Z508 integrates waterproofing via a clamp/frame and seepage pan and is furnished for extra-heavy-duty loading. In plain English: it’s a tough point drain that ties cleanly into membranes, stands up to carts and wheel loads, and simplifies maintenance in debris-prone areas.

Z508 – Components & Assembly Overview

Key Features

  • 9" round top with extra-heavy-duty slotted grate for reliable inflow under traffic.
  • Dura-Coated cast-iron body with bottom outlet for long service life.
  • Seepage pan + combination flashing clamp & frame for clean waterproofing tie-in.
  • Debris control: commonly paired with a sediment bucket (verify furnish; specify -Y where needed).
  • Outlet families: No-Hub (NH), Neo-Loc (NL), Threaded (IP); Inside Caulk/Gasket (IC/IG) available on select builds.
  • Typical pipe sizes: 2", 3", 4", and 6" (by outlet type).
  • Open area (typ.): about 18–20 in² per grate style (confirm on submittal).

Where Z508 Excels

Specify Z508 for parking decks, ramps, loading areas, service courts, and industrial slabs where impact resistance, membrane integration, and fast draw-down matter. The extra-heavy-duty grate resists rocking and damage, while the deep flange/clamp detail protects the waterproofing layer.

Options & Finishes (Snapshot)

  • -DG Duresist ductile-iron grate for higher strength; -G galvanized; -AR acid-resist epoxy.
  • -TS top secured; -VP vandal-proof hardware.
  • -Y sediment bucket; -P trap-primer connection; -TC Neo-Loc test cap (for NL outlets).
  • Top finishes (prefix): Z (cast iron), ZB (polished bronze), ZN (polished nickel-bronze).

Installation Highlights

1) Set & Anchor

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

2) Membrane Tie-In

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

3) Commission & Maintain

Install/secure the grate; add a -Y sediment bucket near landscaping or grit sources; schedule pre-storm clean-outs.

Case Study: Ramp Ponding on a Parking Deck

A municipal parking deck had chronic ponding at slope transitions. Replacing standard drains with Zurn Z508 (4" No-Hub outlets, -DG ductile-iron grates, -TS secured tops) increased impact resistance and reduced grate rocking. Adding -Y buckets at planters captured seasonal grit. Outcome: faster draw-down during storms and fewer downstream jetting calls across the rainy season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Z508 “extra-heavy-duty”?
The grate and body are engineered for high impact and frequent wheel loads. Pairing with a -DG Duresist grate further increases strength for demanding locations.
Which outlet should I specify?
Match your system: NH (No-Hub) for cast-iron, NL (Neo-Loc) for compression fit, IP (Threaded) for steel; some builds offer IC/IG. Typical sizes are 2", 3", 4", or 6" depending on the outlet family.
Is a sediment bucket included?
Many configurations furnish a bucket or allow it as option -Y. Verify furnish on your submittal, especially near landscaping or sanding/grit sources.
