Supreme Delmar
Description
Supreme is a unique linear shower drain that solves one of the biggest problems facing installers and plumbers in construction and remodeling, eliminating the need to relocate existing plumbing when the water outlet is located a few inches off-center.
This award winning product offers an independent base that houses an internal rail system which enables the grate to be in a different position than the base and the outlet. Supreme was designed with functionality and aesthetics being the primary principles in mind, creating a minimal, yet refined shower drain with a straightforward installation.
Specifications
