Installation / Where to Buy
Water on Driveway (Low): Installation Instructions
- Dig trench for drain pipe and Spee-D Channel Drain.
- Dry fit (no glue) the entire drainage system from the Spee-D Channel Drain to the pop-up emitter.
- Measure and cut all pipe to necessary lengths.
- After completing each step, glue parts together if a water tight connection is required.
TIP: If installing the drain in an existing concrete area, a wet concrete saw will be required to cut the concrete prior to installation.
- A minimum of 4-inches of concrete should surround the channel where vehicular traffic will pass over the channel.
- Please follow installation instructions included with the channel when installing the channel drain. The Spee-D Channel Drain should be installed a minimum of 1/4” below the finished grade of the surrounding surface.
- Connect the required number of channel sections together using the Spee-D Channel Couplers.
- Place the grates on the channel and screw in place.
- Install end caps at the end of the runs as needed.
- Determine the way in which the channel drain will be drained (either via an End Outlet or Bottom Drain) and connect the appropriate drain pipe.
- Glue and connect elbows as needed.
- Continue drain pipe in direction of where the Flo-Well will be installed.
- Connect the drain pipe to an elbow with a weep hole. The elbow should be installed with the weep hole on the horizontal side of the elbow.
- Slide the Pop-up Emitter onto the elbow. An additional length of pipe can be used to bring Pop-up emitter to the surface.
TIP: To avoid damaging your Pop-Up Emitter with your lawn mower, raise the cutting level of the blades or avoid passing the mower over the Pop-Up Emitter.
- Backfill and replace any grass or plants that were removed.
TIP: DO NOT BACKFILL WITH SOIL WITH HIGH CLAY CONTENT.
Water must be able to easily pass through the backfilled soil.
