Sections of 8” Pro Series Channel can be connected using the interlocking end joints.
- Shallow profile: End caps can be purchased that connects to a 3” sewer and drain pipe. NDS part # 832 has knockouts that can be used to drain water out of the sides of the channel. The side outlets have to 3” sewer and spout and the bottom drain fits 4” sewer and drain pipe and 3” sewer and drain fittings.
- Deep profile: End caps can be purchased that has a 3” or 4” sewer and storm spout. Do I need to worry about expansion and contraction of the grates? We recommend a 1/8” gap be left between grates during installation to allow for expansion of the grates.
The shallow channel will hold about the same volume of water as a 6” diameter pipe. The deep channel will hold about the same volume of water as a 8” diameter pipe.
