These drain plugs are stationed at every floor drain in our chemical storage area. During a forklift incident that ruptured a tote, our team sealed all four drains in under a minute. Zero discharge to the sewer system. Our EHS director was thrilled.

Product Overview
The Orange Drain Plug for Spills is an 8-inch diameter polyurethane plug with a removable eyebolt, built to seal large floor drains during spill containment and emergency hazmat response. Manufactured by UltraTech, this substantial 14 lb safety orange plug provides a heavy-duty, watertight barrier in oversized round floor drains found in refineries, power plants, and heavy manufacturing environments. The removable eyebolt is essential at this size, enabling workers to deploy and retrieve the heavy plug using hooks, chains, or mechanical lifting aids. Its safety orange color provides maximum visibility in large industrial spaces where drains may be spread across extensive floor areas.

Expert Insights
The 8-inch drain plug is designed for large-diameter industrial floor drains that handle significant fluid volumes, making it a critical containment tool in high-risk environments. At 14 lbs, the plug's weight alone provides substantial downward force to maintain the seal under fluid head pressure, and the eyebolt allows attachment of chains for mechanical handling where manual lifting is impractical. Facilities with 8-inch drains should ensure their SPCC plans specifically account for these oversized openings, as standard drain plug kits typically only include sizes up to 4 inches. Store this plug at the nearest spill response station to the large drains it serves to minimize response time during emergencies.

Why Floor Drain Plugs Are Essential
Indoor floor drains connected to the sanitary sewer or storm system are a primary pathway for spilled chemicals and petroleum to leave a facility. SPCC plans and OSHA spill response procedures require the ability to seal floor drains during spill events to prevent pollutant discharge. Floor drain plugs deliver instant, tool-free drain sealing that meets regulatory requirements for indoor spill containment.

What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from the facilities, field crews, and agencies that count on us.
-
-
The removable eyebolt makes retrieval easy after a spill event. We tested every size during our annual spill drill and they all sealed perfectly. The polyurethane is tough — we've reused the same plugs dozens of times without any degradation.
-
Simple product that does exactly what it claims. We used to stuff rags into drains during spill events — this is infinitely better. Instant seal, easy retrieval, and our SPCC inspector specifically approved them as compliant drain sealing devices.
