Stainless Steel Drains Backed by 177 Years of Metalworking Expertise — and a Lifetime Warranty
Why Choosing Kusel Equipment Means Choosing Quality
Most drain manufacturers make a little of everything. We make one thing extremely well.
Our story starts in 1849, as a tinsmith shop in Watertown, Wisconsin. For the past forty years, we’ve brought that metalworking heritage to stainless steel drains — engineered for the most demanding sanitary environments. Stainless steel is all we do, and it shows in every part number we ship.
Why Trust Your Drainage to a Specialist?
When sanitation is priority number one, stainless steel has proven itself to be the best-performing material, time and again. This tough material stands up to the daily washdowns and harsh chemicals that wear out materials like HDPE, polymer concrete and fiberglass.
That’s why we’ve never split our attention across a dozen product categories or materials.. Drainage done right is a matter of details: the gauge of the steel, the pitch of the trough, the finish of every weld. Making one thing is how we get those details right, project after project. Why trust your drainage to a company that doesn’t specialize in it?
The Kusel Difference Is in the Welds
What separates a good stainless steel drain from a great one comes down to the welds. Ours are continuous and multi-sided — stronger and more sanitary, with no harborage points where bacteria can grow.
Our welds are laid down by people who’ve spent their careers doing exactly this work. We back their work on every KE drain with a lifetime workmanship warranty.
Some of the Shortest Lead Times in the Industry
Specialization pays off in the schedule, too. Because stainless steel equipment is all we make, we control our own inventory and custom capabilities. Nothing waits on an outside supplier or a crowded production line making something else. Plus, we stock hundreds of standard configurations, ready for same-day shipment. And when a project calls for something custom, we quote a lead time on every job, so you can plan with real dates instead of guesses.
Two Million Drain Variations. One Configurator.
With more than two million possible drain variations, there’s a Kusel solution for virtually any application. Our online Drain Configurator puts every one of them at your fingertips.
Select your requirements and build the exact drain your project needs in minutes — complete with a part number and matching spec text, ready to drop into your documents. While you’re there, you can download ready-to-spec BIM files, too. Give it a try on your next project.
Prefer to Talk It Through?
Some projects call for a conversation, not just a configuration. Our sales team is always standing by to help you find the right solution.
