MAHC-I COMMERCIAL SERIES

Streamline Design, Installation, and Plan Approval

The MAHC-I Series are VGB Unblockable drains designed for replacement and new construction. The modular grates and supports offer a direct replacement for existing 18" x 36", 54", and 72" drain grates. The series includes a base kit that is 18" wide by 36" long, expandable in 9" increments to accommodate larger sizes.

The MAHC-I 18" x 36" stainless steel sumps are OEM-manufactured, certified by UL in conformity with ANSI/APSP-16 2011. They are configurable for any floor thickness, pipe size, or combination of pipe sizes from 2" to 12". No additional VGB Act compliance engineering is required. Each sump includes an integrated water-stop with tie-wire holes angled to trap water and help prevent concrete voids.

The Click-It™ frame and grate modular design is compact, easy to handle, and requires significantly less shelf space compared to traditional drain designs. It offers unlimited length, providing Registered Design Professionals with ultimate engineering flexibility.
