Zurn Z566 – 12" Square Open Top Drain

A compact, heavy-duty 12" square area drain with a Dura-Coated cast-iron body, bottom outlet, and a loose-set cast-iron secondary strainer—ideal for plazas, decks, and industrial slabs.

The Zurn Z566 is a versatile, open-top point drain designed for high-exposure hardscapes. In technical terms, it’s a 12" square open-top drain with a Dura-Coated cast-iron body, bottom outlet, and a loose-set cast-iron secondary strainer. In plain English: it’s tough, simple to service, and built to keep surface water moving where vehicles and foot traffic meet.

Key Features

  • 12" square open top—efficient surface capture at low points and transitions.
  • Dura-Coated cast-iron body with bottom outlet for long service life.
  • Loose-set secondary strainer protects piping and is easy to remove for clean-outs.
  • Top finish options available: cast iron, polished bronze, or polished nickel-bronze (by prefix).
  • Common outlet sizes/types: 2", 3", 4" in No-Hub (NH) and Neo-Loc (NL) variants (verify submittal).

Where Z566 Excels

Specify the Z566 for plazas, parking decks, precast garage levels, ramps, and light-industrial floors. The open-top design suits high inflow at point drains, while the secondary strainer helps reduce downstream clogging between service intervals.

  • Top grate (-GT) versions stocked; removable for access.
  • Sediment bucket (-Y) available to capture debris.
  • Neo-Loc test cap (-TC) option for NL outlets.

Installation Highlights

1) Set & Elevate

Place the body to finish elevation; ensure positive slope toward the drain from surrounding slab or pavers.

2) Connect & Seal

Tie into the storm line using NH or NL outlet per spec; confirm gasket/compression seating and leak-free joints.

3) Commission & Maintain

Install the top grate (if specified), verify secondary strainer fit, and schedule periodic debris clean-outs—especially ahead of heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles.

Case Study: Plaza Low-Point Upgrade

A mixed-use plaza suffered ponding along a long joint line. The retrofit installed Zurn Z566 drains at new low points with 3" Neo-Loc outlets and -Y sediment buckets. After one storm season, facilities staff reported faster runoff removal and shorter clean-outs thanks to the loose-set secondary strainer and bucket combo.
