Product Description
Viking Floor Drain Jali Round 125mm (Product Code: 40906-A) is a premium SS430 stainless steel floor drain from Viking India — a manufacturer with over 58 years of drainage product heritage since 1966. At 125mm (5 inches) overall diameter with a 95mm active drain area and a rated flow capacity of 45 LPM, it delivers efficient water removal for bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, terraces, and utility areas. The integrated 32mm waste pipe hole accommodates standard drainage pipe connections directly, eliminating the need for a separate fitting at the outlet — making it a complete, ready-to-install floor drain solution.
What distinguishes the 40906-A from standard drop-in drain jalis is its double locking frame design — a two-point securing system that locks the jali into the frame and the frame into the floor, preventing accidental displacement from foot traffic, cleaning, or water pressure. Built from SS430 ferritic stainless steel (16–18% chromium composition) with a polished chrome mirror finish, it offers superior corrosion resistance to bathroom chemicals, hard water minerals, and persistent moisture — maintaining its appearance and structural integrity over years of daily use without rusting, staining, or degrading. The low-profile 8mm frame height and 15mm installation depth minimise impact on floor level, making it suitable for both new construction and retrofit installations.
Key Features
- Double Locking Frame System: Two-point locking mechanism secures the jali to the frame and the frame to the floor — prevents shifting from foot traffic, mop pressure, or high-flow water, maintaining a flush, professional appearance permanently.
- SS430 Stainless Steel Construction: Ferritic stainless grade with 16–18% chromium content delivers superior corrosion resistance to water, humidity, cleaning chemicals, and bathroom waste without the higher cost of SS304 or SS316.
- 45 LPM Flow Capacity: High drain flow rate handles peak water volumes from showers, rainfall on terraces, and washing machine discharge without pooling or backup.
- Integrated 32mm Waste Pipe Hole: Standard waste pipe connection built into the drain body — a complete drainage system in one unit, requiring no separate outlet fitting.
- Polished Chrome Mirror Finish: Smooth, bright surface resists bacterial adhesion and staining, and wipes clean easily — maintaining aesthetic quality in visible bathroom and kitchen floor positions.

SS430 Stainless Steel — Material Specification
Why SS430 is the right grade for floor drain applications
- Chromium Content (16–18%): High chromium composition forms a self-repairing passive oxide layer that actively resists rust and corrosion from water, cleaning chemicals, and bathroom waste.
- Ferritic Structure: Magnetic stainless grade with excellent formability — allows the precise jali pattern and locking frame geometry to be manufactured accurately without compromising material integrity.
- Chemical Resistance: Withstands exposure to common bathroom and kitchen cleaning agents, hard water mineral deposits, and organic waste without pitting or staining.
- Cost-Performance Balance: SS430 delivers corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor drainage applications at a better value than SS304 or SS316 — the correct grade choice for bathroom, kitchen, and balcony floor drains.
Recommended Applications
Where the Viking Floor Drain Jali 125mm fits best
- Bathroom & Shower Floors: SS430 corrosion resistance handles persistent moisture, soap, and cleaning chemicals — ideal for wet zone floor drainage in residential and commercial bathrooms.
- Kitchen Utility Areas: Polished mirror finish resists grease and food residue adhesion and wipes clean easily — suitable for kitchen floor drains near sinks and utility areas.
- Balconies & Outdoor Terraces: Stainless steel construction withstands UV exposure, rainwater, and outdoor temperature cycling — the 45 LPM flow rate handles heavy rainfall runoff on large terrace areas.
- Utility & Laundry Rooms: Double locking frame resists displacement from washing machine vibration and high-flow discharge — maintains secure installation under repeated loading.
- Commercial Washrooms: Durable SS430 construction and professional polished finish suit high-traffic commercial bathroom floors in offices, hotels, and retail environments.
- New Construction & Renovation: Low 15mm installation depth and standard 32mm waste pipe connection make it straightforward to specify in both new-build and retrofit floor drainage scenarios.

FAQs
1) What does the double locking frame do — is it significantly better than a standard drop-in drain jali?
A standard drop-in drain jali simply rests in the drain frame by gravity and can be dislodged by foot pressure, mop contact, or strong water flow — creating a tripping hazard and an untidy appearance. The double locking frame on the Viking 40906-A uses a two-point mechanism that locks the jali into the frame and the frame into the floor recess, preventing accidental displacement under any normal bathroom or kitchen use condition. For commercial or high-traffic environments where the drain is regularly stepped on or mopped over, the locking system is a meaningful safety and maintenance advantage over standard alternatives.
2) What is the difference between SS430 and SS304 stainless steel for a floor drain — is SS430 good enough?
SS304 contains nickel in addition to chromium, giving it higher corrosion resistance in aggressive environments such as coastal salt-spray or industrial chemical exposure. SS430 (16–18% chromium, no nickel) is the appropriate and widely accepted grade for indoor floor drain applications — bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, and utility areas — where the primary threats are water, humidity, cleaning agents, and organic waste. SS430 handles these conditions reliably at lower cost than SS304. SS304 or SS316 would only be necessary for marine, outdoor coastal, or industrial drainage applications where the Viking 40906-A is not specified.
3) What size waste pipe does this drain connect to, and is it compatible with standard Indian plumbing?
The Viking 40906-A has an integrated 32mm diameter waste pipe hole — the standard size for bathroom and kitchen floor drain waste connections in Indian residential construction. This is compatible with standard UPVC and PVC waste pipes used across Indian plumbing systems. No additional reducer or adaptor is required for a standard installation. If your drainage system uses a different pipe size, consult your plumber before ordering.
4) Can this drain be installed on a terrace or balcony exposed to rain and sunlight?
Yes — SS430 stainless steel is suitable for outdoor balcony and terrace drainage where the drain is exposed to rainwater, sunlight, and temperature cycling. The 45 LPM flow rate is sufficient to handle heavy monsoon rainfall drainage on standard residential balcony and terrace areas. The polished chrome finish maintains its appearance in outdoor conditions without rusting or pitting under normal weathering. For coastal properties within direct salt-spray distance of the ocean, SS304 grade drains would offer better long-term corrosion resistance.
5) How is the Viking 40906-A installed — does it require a plumber or can a tiler fit it during floor work?
Floor drain installation is typically done by the tiler during floor laying — the drain frame is set into the screed at the correct depth (15mm total installation depth) before tiling, and the waste pipe is connected to the 32mm outlet below the slab. The jali and locking mechanism are fitted after tiling is complete. A plumber is needed for the underground waste pipe connection, but the above-floor drain installation itself is within a tiler's scope. Ensure the drain is positioned at the lowest point of the floor slope during installation to ensure complete water drainage toward the outlet.
