H-M Company has been helping businesses drain water from their commercial laundry equipment since 1992. Manufactured in Ohio, H-M found the need in the laundry industry to deal with getting rid of water from washers quickly so that the production of goods being processed could continue without lengthening drain times.
We offer a line of drain troughs designed for easy installation, simple maintenance and cost-saving measures.
A drain trough also referred to as a drainage trough, trough drain, plumbing trough or trench drain acts as a holding tank to slowly dissipate and filter the water from commercial washing machines. Troughs are sized and manufactured to accommodate any number of washers. They can also be designed to work with sump pumps. Our troughs are made of chemical-resistant polypropylene.
