Drip Cups

Drip cups are a vital component within laboratory waste and chemical drainage installations, providing a safe and controlled point for liquids to discharge into the drainage system. Designed to manage splashing, chemical exposure and temperature extremes, drip cups help protect surrounding surfaces, equipment and users in demanding laboratory environments.

The drip cups in this category are manufactured from black co-polymer polypropylene, a material chosen specifically for its excellent chemical resistance, durability and long service life in aggressive waste applications. All products are manufactured to ISO 9001 quality standards and are suitable for use in professional laboratory, educational, healthcare and research settings.

• Material: Black co-polymer polypropylene
• Manufacturing standard: ISO 9001
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to +100°C
• Available sizes: Up to 305mm
• Design: Heavily sloped side walls to minimise splashing
• Application: Laboratory waste, chemical drainage and specialist plumbing systems

The sloped internal geometry of each drip cup is specifically engineered to reduce splashback when liquids are discharged, improving safety and cleanliness in high-use lab environments.

Drip cups are typically installed beneath laboratory sinks, safety showers, eye wash stations and specialist equipment where controlled waste discharge is required. They are particularly well suited to:

• Chemical laboratories
• Schools, colleges and universities
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Research and testing facilities
• Industrial and pharmaceutical labs

Their robust polypropylene construction ensures long-term performance even when exposed to corrosive or high-temperature waste streams.

This category includes a carefully selected range of circular and oval drip cups, allowing you to choose the most suitable format for your installation space and discharge requirements.

Compact and efficient, small circular drip cups are ideal where space is limited but reliable waste capture is still essential. They are commonly used for lighter-duty laboratory sinks and smaller discharge points.

Best suited for:

• Compact lab benches
• Smaller sinks or equipment outlets
• Installations with limited footprint

Large circular drip cups offer increased capacity while retaining a symmetrical, space-efficient design. Their larger internal volume makes them suitable for higher-flow discharge points.

Best suited for:

• Higher-use sinks
• Increased flow or splash risk
• General laboratory applications

The oval design provides a wider capture area compared to circular alternatives, making small oval drip cups ideal where discharge points are offset or spread over a wider area.

Best suited for:

• Narrow but wide discharge zones
• Under-sink installations with limited depth
• Controlled splash reduction

Large oval drip cups combine increased capacity with a wide capture footprint, offering excellent protection in high-use laboratory environments.

Best suited for:

• Heavy-duty lab sinks
• High-volume discharge
• Areas requiring maximum splash control

Designed for enhanced containment, the large oval drip cup with lip provides an additional raised edge to help prevent overflow and manage aggressive discharge conditions.

Best suited for:

• High-risk chemical applications
• Areas where overflow protection is critical
• Laboratories requiring maximum containment

These drip cups are designed to integrate seamlessly with laboratory waste and trap systems, offering reliable performance as part of a fully matched drainage solution. Their lightweight yet robust construction makes handling and installation straightforward while maintaining long-term durability.
