Why Choose 100mm CP Clearout Square Grate
Use 100mm CP Clearout Square Grate for reliable floor drainage in high-traffic commercial and residential wet areas where a secure, tool-free entry to standard 100mm outlets is required.
100mm CP Clearout Square Grate Common Uses
This grate is selected when a flush, low-profile drainage solution must integrate with finished flooring and meet AS 3740 compliance in wet areas.
- Wet areas in commercial and residential buildings where floor finishes must remain continuous.
- Retrofit projects requiring access to existing 100mm standard floor drains without mechanical fasteners.
Where 100mm CP Clearout Square Grate Performs Best
Performs reliably on rigid, stable substrates with minimal deflection, where temperature remains between 5°C and 40°C and the grate remains protected from sustained dynamic point loads.
Coverage, Skin Time & Cure
Yield and coverage are defined by the 100mm square configuration and 100mm outlet compatibility, allowing one unit to service a standard drain location with minimal on-site trimming.
- Skin time begins once the Megaflex base is seated; avoid heavy service loading until the adhesive or surrounding seal reaches handling strength.
- Cure to full structural performance is reached after sustained service conditions have stabilized bonded interfaces, typically following standard adhesive or sealant cure cycles per job specifics.
Surface Prep & Application
Prepare a clean, dry, and level substrate free of debris and contamination to ensure a robust friction fit and long-term moisture protection.
- Clean the drain opening and remove any old sealant or debris.
- Verify the outlet is a standard 100mm pipe and the surrounding slab is sound.
- Insert the grate firmly into place until secure.
- Apply silicone around the base if additional stability is required in high-vibration areas.
Best Practices for Using 100mm CP Clearout Square Grate
Maintain long-term drainage integrity by pairing the grate with compatible adhesives and sealants that match the substrate and environmental exposure.
- Use with compatible ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles to embed a flush surface finish.
- Avoid installation methods that require mechanical fasteners, as this unit relies on friction fit.
- In high-vibration areas, verify the Megaflex base seating and supplement with silicone if movement is observed.
Handling & Storage
Handle with standard PPE and store in conditions that protect the brass and A.B.S. Megaflex base from corrosive materials and temperature extremes.
- Store at 5°C to 40°C in a dry environment away from corrosive materials.
- Wear appropriate PPE when handling to prevent contamination and surface damage.
- Keep packaging intact until installation to avoid exposure to moisture or impact.
Frequently asked questions
How is the 100mm CP Clearout Square Grate installed?
Installation is a straightforward push-in friction fit into a 100mm outlet. Ensure the drain opening is clean and the surrounding floor is level for a secure seating. Silicone can be used around the Megaflex™ base for added stability if required.
Can this floor grate handle high-traffic environments?
Yes, the solid brass construction makes it suitable for high-traffic areas. Brass offers inherent durability and resistance to wear, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial wet areas.
What types of tiles are compatible with this grate?
This grate is compatible with ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles. The square design and flush fit ensure a seamless integration with various flooring types, supporting consistent aesthetic finishes.
Does this grate meet Australian plumbing standards?
Yes, the 100mm CP Clearout Square Grate is WaterMark Certified and complies with AS 3740. This confirms it meets Australian standards for plumbing and drainage products, ensuring suitability for wet area installations.
What should I do if the grate becomes loose over time?
If the grate becomes loose, apply a bead of silicone sealant around the Megaflex™ base before reinserting it. This will enhance the friction fit and provide additional grip and stability in high-movement areas.

How to apply 100mm CP Clearout Square Grate:
- Prepare and clean the floor drain opening
- Align the grate’s Megaflex™ base with the drain
- Firmly push the grate into place until secure
- Apply silicone sealant if additional sealing is required
Product limitations
- Not for: Applications requiring a screw-in installation method. This grate is designed for a friction fit with its Megaflex™ base.
- Stability: In areas subject to significant foot traffic or movement, additional sealing with silicone may be necessary around the Megaflex™ base to maintain optimal stability.
Substrate guide
This guide outlines the necessary floor preparation to ensure a secure and flush seating of the 100mm CP Clearout Square Grate.
Ceramic tile
Surface prep: The subfloor and tile bed surrounding the drainage point must be level and free from debris. This provides a stable and flush surface for the grate installation.
Primer: Not applicable.
Porcelain tile
Surface prep: Prepare the floor according to standard tiling practices for porcelain. Ensure the drainage opening is square and level to precisely accommodate the grate's 100mm dimensions.
Primer: Not applicable.
Natural stone
Surface prep: As with other tile types, achieve a level and clean installation area. If the specific natural stone requires sealing, complete this process for the surrounding tiles to protect against moisture before the final grate placement.
Primer: Not applicable.
