Stainlessstee floor drain 2

[Hasni2]

How can one know if a floor drain is of stainless steel material or brass with chrome finish. Believe me they almost look alike and I really face difficulty at times while approving floor drains of stainless steel material. Please give some clue, thanks.

You can do spot checks using a spot check kit,which is simple and reliable.

what type of stainless is specified? some are magnetic to some degree. Brass (and chrome) is not.

Chrome would not be scratched by a pen knife. Stainless at any formable hardness would.
