Global Drain Technologies Unveils Installer-Friendly Slot Drain Solutions
Global Drain Technologies has unveiled a suite of installer-friendly drain products and support services designed to increase contractor profitability while reducing complexity on the jobsite.

The company’s drainage solutions are designed to be faster to install, easier to maintain and better aligned with industrial and commercial construction.
To eliminate the step of removing the welded metal tabs on traditional slot drains, GDT has developed a tables slot drain design available on select drains. The welded metal tabs have been replaced with precision 3D-printed tabs that can be removed by hand.
Also, to streamline trench and slot drain alignment, GDT’s E-Z leveling system enables installers to set and secure leveling rods more easily and accurately. The system uses a mechanical design that allows contractors to tighten a single bolt to lock each leveling rod in place with a standard impact driver.
For facilities using seamless resin floor systems, GDT offers the KeyForm drainage accessory, an aluminum form that creates a keyway along the drain perimeter during the concrete pour. By forming the keyway in a single step, KeyForm eliminates the need for manual chipping or cutting around the drain body to accommodate floor coatings.
GDT’s presloped slot drain systems are engineered with an integrated slope, allowing the top of the drain to be installed level while the drain body gets progressively deeper below grade to maintain positive drainage from inlet to outlet. The design promotes continuous flow and supports self-cleaning behavior as water carries debris toward the outlet, while simplifying layout and grade coordination for contractors.
In addition, beyond products, GDT supports installation partners through its Alliance Partner Program, which provides education, one-on-one support and qualified project referrals to trusted contractors, and through a Technical Resource Hub that serves as a single destination for CAD and Revit files, installation resources and promotional materials.
