OATEY 72136 6" PVC Adj. Commercial Drain w/ 6" BR Grate & Round Ring

The Oatey 72136 is a 6 inch PVC adjustable commercial floor drain supplied with a 6 inch brass grate and a round clamping ring. The adjustable body lets the grate be set flush with the finished floor after the slab or topping pour, and the round ring is used where the drain is set in a membrane. It is a drain assembly, not just a replacement grate.

Yes, a round clamping ring ships with the 72136 along with the 6 inch brass grate. That ring is what clamps a shower pan liner or waterproofing membrane to the drain body, so for a membrane installation you do not need to buy the ring separately.

The grate is brass, on a PVC drain body. That combination is the usual choice for commercial floors where the body is solvent welded into PVC drainage piping but the walking surface needs a metal grate that will take cart and foot traffic.

Adjustable refers to the drain top, which threads up and down so the brass grate can be brought level with the finished floor after the concrete or tile topping goes in. You rough in the PVC body at the pipe, then set final height at the end of the job instead of having to hit exact elevation on the first pour.

The 72136 has a PVC body, so it joins to a PVC drainage system with standard solvent cement rather than needing a caulked or threaded transition. If your waste line is cast iron or ABS you would need an appropriate transition coupling or a drain bodied in that material instead.

The complete assembly weighs 5.3 pounds, most of that in the brass grate and ring. It is a one-hand set for a single installer, and light enough that the PVC body needs to be supported and tied off to the pipe rather than relying on its own mass during a pour.
