Closure for shower drains, drains and manholes

flood protection Device

Deployment in as little as 3 seconds

RAPID closure for drains and manholes.

(Patent) The Drain Closure (Shower drain; Drain cover) is a safety flood protection device designed to be placed as needed to cover a shower drain, a manhole with a cover, or a floor drain in an indoor space.

Materials:

  • Plastic construction
  • Steel and Aluminium
  • Special Gasket

Available sizes

Standard size*:

  • Ø 14

*Dimensions in centimetres. Other dimensions and shapes available upon request.

PLEASE NOTE: where available sizes are unsuitable or different shapes are required, we manufacture devices to measure. TORRICELLI and TORRICELLIflex flood protection devices are also available. The latter can be positioned beneath a car, provided the wheels do not run over or rest on it.

Other features

  • From top to bottom
  • Centre the panel over the opening to be covered, then operate the specially designed pressure mechanism to compress the special gaskets.

DISCLAIMER! Be sure to follow the warnings and instructions in the User and Maintenance Manual

  • This is a very important factor to assess carefully before purchasing a flood protection device, especially if several need to be deployed in an emergency: the shower drain / drain / manhole closure can be deployed in as little as 3 seconds.
  • Suitable for drains in houses and villas, garages or vehicle shelters, shopping centres, logistics warehouses and storage facilities, artisan workshops and industrial premises.
  • As a safety cover, it can be placed as needed to cover drains that have a complete, smooth, and level border around their perimeter, at least 3 cm wide.

I’m choosing the “Floor Drain / Manhole Closure” because the designers have solved these issues for me:

Custom Dimensions and Geometry

Anything is possible.

It may be pointless to install a flood-protection device to protect the door if it is higher than any drain, which is usually about 10 cm above the floor.

This identification number, which only RAPID has been issuing since 2017, contains the entire history of your flood protection device, ensuring seamless after-sales support—from locating replacement parts to handling any recalls.

Known defects identified and avoided as the original design was progressively developed

Variable dimensions and geometries

Floors from the basement to the first floor.

It is pointless to install a flood protection device in front of the door that is higher than any floor drain or shower pan, because flooding would occur anyway due to the principle of communicating vessels.

  • Up to 2 years for gaskets used and stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Up to 5 years, excluding gaskets

DISCLAIMER: WARNING! If the opening is a designated safety exit, a safety plan must approve the use of another suitable exit before the flood barrier is fitted. Otherwise, the space to be protected must contain no people or anything else that could be put at risk. Dripping is within the permitted sealing tolerance, although it does not necessarily occur. Additional protective measures are recommended when the device protects hazardous areas.
