OATEY 86013 3" ABS Sediment Drain, Plastic Grate w/ Bucket

The 86013 sediment drain has a 3 inch ABS base, so it solvent welds to 3 inch ABS DWV pipe. The connection is ABS to ABS, which means ABS cement, not PVC cement, and not a mixed-material joint unless you use a proper transition coupling.

It's a removable sediment bucket that sits under the grate and catches solids before they reach the 3 inch ABS outlet. Grit, sand, hair, and debris drop into the bucket instead of building up in the branch line, and maintenance is lifting the plastic grate and dumping the bucket. That's the difference between a sediment drain and a plain floor drain: you're servicing it on a schedule rather than rodding the line when it plugs.

No, not directly. The 86013 is an ABS body with an ABS connection, and ABS cement won't make a code-acceptable joint to PVC. On a PVC system you either specify the PVC version of the drain or use a listed ABS-to-PVC transition fitting at the connection.

The 86013 comes with a plastic grate, which suits mechanical rooms, janitor closets, laundry rooms, and similar areas with foot traffic and cart traffic only. It is not the choice for a loading dock, a garage bay, or anywhere wheeled or vehicle loads cross the drain. For those, specify a metal-grate sediment drain instead.

Pick a sediment drain like the Oatey 86013 where the floor discharge carries solids: wash-down areas, mop sinks and janitor rooms, mechanical spaces, and anywhere grit reaches the floor. The bucket intercepts that material so it doesn't settle in the horizontal run. A plain floor drain is the simpler part for clean condensate or occasional spill duty, where there's nothing to catch and no reason to schedule bucket service.
