Sump‑to‑Sump™ Drain Kit for Low‑Profile Spill Decks

Sump‑to‑Sump™ Drain Kit – scalable capacity for spill decks

The Sump‑to‑Sump™ drain kit gives you a straightforward way to connect two low‑profile spill decks so they behave like a single, larger floor sump. As the liquid level rises in one deck, it passes through the interconnecting pipe into the other deck and the level equalises.

Why choose a spill deck drain kit?

Modular spill containment keeps operations flexible. With a drain‑through link between sumps, you increase the effective capacity of your containment area without replacing equipment. A spill deck drain kit lets you expand protection in minutes and keeps aisles, walkways and fork routes dry. It’s particularly useful where volumes fluctuate because the connected floor sump system absorbs peaks without letting liquid reach the floor.

How the connection works

Two bulkhead fittings are installed opposite each other in the deck sidewalls. A short interconnecting pipe (also called a transfer tube) runs between them. When the first deck nears capacity, hydrostatic head drives liquid through the pipe into the second deck until the levels match. Because the fittings use sealing gaskets, the joint is tight without adhesive.

Fits a modular way of working

Most facilities grow step by step. The same logic applies to spill control. Start with a two‑deck setup. If demand increases, add a third or fourth deck by repeating the link with another Sump‑to‑Sump™ drain kit. The connected line of floor sumps gives you more buffer volume without changing the working height or footprint of your station. That’s the advantage of modular spill containment: capacity follows your process, not the other way around.
