Hide Drain Covers

Features and benefits

Conceal Unsightly Drain Grates — Seamlessly

HIDE Drain Cover Kits replace dated plastic drain covers and coarse metal grates with a premium, flush-finish inlay lid that blends perfectly into your chosen surface. Made from marine grade 316L stainless steel and filled with your choice of matching tile, stone, pavers, concrete or decking, the cover simply disappears into your pool deck, patio or landscape — no more industrial eyesores stamping your outdoor design.

Designed for installation in pedestrian alfresco areas and suited to a mortar gradient to the pipe, HIDE drain covers are available in four sizes with multiple depths to accommodate any type of inlay. Please note: the drain and pit are not included — these are cover kits only, installed on-site over your drainage pipe.

Why Choose a HIDE Drain Cover?

• Seamless, designer finish — the inlay tray holds the same tile, paver, stone, concrete or decking as your surrounds, creating a flush surface with no visible grate.
• Safe, key-only access — the cover can only be opened with the HIDE Safety Key, keeping children and pets out, and sits flush to eliminate trip hazards in pedestrian areas.
• Built to last — marine grade 316L stainless steel backed by a 20 year warranty covering the Safety Key, Inlay Lid and Edge Protector.
• Protects your landscape — the stainless steel edge protector prevents chips and breakages in tiled or stone surrounds every time the cover is opened and closed.
• Set-and-forget — occasional maintenance only, at little to no cost, unlike cheap plastic grates that crack and need regular replacement.

Choosing the Right Size & Depth

Four drain cover sizes are available, each in a range of depths to suit your inlay material:

• 214mm square — 10, 20, 30 & 40mm depths
• 314mm square — 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 & 60mm depths
• 342mm square — 10, 20, 30 & 40mm depths
• 656mm square — 20mm depth
• Concrete models (40mm depth) available in 214, 314 & 342mm

Two quick measurements are all it takes: the clear underside opening you need to cover, and the thickness of your inlay material. If your cover will sit within 1.25m of the pool edge, the stainless steel should be earthed — check with your licensed electrician. For drainage volume planning, a drain cover flow rate guide is available at skimmerlids.com.au. Not sure which kit you need?
