The sampling in the industrial zone of Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, sampled 190 enterprises, accounting for 76.3% of the total.

The focus on the maximum allowable deformation, water absorption, crack resistance, overflow function, load resistance and other five items were inspected. Among them, 15 batches of products failed the overflow function, mainly because the product’s overflow waterway design is unreasonable. Some manufacturers in order to increase the decorative effect, increase in the overflow mouth of the washer at a variety of hollow pattern overflow ring, affecting the overflow capacity of the product. 10 batches of products failed water absorption, mainly due to inappropriate ratios of raw materials or the production process of sintering temperature, firing time control is not good, resulting in the product is not dense enough. Another 3 batches of products failed the maximum allowable deformation.

Floor drains.

7 batches of unqualified, involving Kohler affiliates

The sampling of 96 batches of floor drain products produced by 96 enterprises in 8 provinces (cities), 7 batches of products were found to be unqualified, with a failure rate of 7.3%.

Among the unqualified products, 5 batches were detected to have unqualified drainage flow. They can not quickly drain the water into the pipe, mainly due to the unreasonable design of the product structure, the effective water outlet area of the drain and the floor drain grate overwater area ratio is too small, the screen aperture is too small or the drainage flap opening angle of the floor drain is not enough. Another 2 batches of products failed the sealing performance and overflow prevention project, mainly due to improper selection of sealing materials or unreasonable structural design of connecting parts.
