The assembly also has a plastic mesh screen inside to collect debris.
When the absorbent sock in the assembly is fully saturated the liquid flow stops. Eagle Containment Drain Model 16DRAIN was designed for Eagle spill containment platforms and pallets that have built-in drain plugs. The 16DRAIN connects into the 3/4" port in the side of the tub to allow liquid in the tub to drain through the assembly. The threaded drain assembly allows for easy removal and replacement of the absorbent sock.
