Default Deck drain with flat bottom

I have seen some thru hull drains for a deck that aren't completely round, they are flat on the bottom so they can mount closer to the deck. Where can I get these?
Thanks

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I purchased a pair and am very happy with the quality and price..

Those are very nice, but I need the ones that go through the side.

for side scuppers, you really need to have them as a functional venturi

Yes, scuppers. I am moving them from through the transom to through the sides and need to get them close to the floor. I was thinking of the round one like the last pic, but the bottom of it is flat, so it is closer to the floor.

are you putting a bulkhead in
to stop the sturn of the boat filling till it reaches the side scuppers

if you want to use the rectangular ones and cant find one that has a venturi
this can be fabricated by a box without one end, deep enough to allow the scupper to open and afixed over the scupper
