Product description
The merchandise consists of five drainage products made of lacquered cast iron. Item number R1200 is a large sump roof drain. It will be used on flat roofs to ensure efficient rain water drainage and to prevent debris from entering the drain line. Item number F1100-C is a floor drain used in showers, kitchens and restrooms. Item number T1320-FL is a trench drain system composed of sections measuring 20 inches in length by 6 inches in width. The trench drain system will be used in loading, parking, and washdown areas. Item number C1100 is a floor cleanout with an adjustable cover and plug. The cleanout will be installed in finished floors to provide emergency access to the plumbing lines for repairs. The last article, item number MC-10D, is a double, horizontal, and adjustable water closet carrier. The carrier is used to mount off-the-floor, back-to-back plumbing fixtures onto the wall. Because all five products have been lacquered, they are considered to be processed beyond the condition of a basic cast iron article of heading 7325.
