Applications
- Ideal for draining moderate flows from hardscape surfaces such as driveways, concrete and paver patios, courtyards, walkways, and sports facilities
- Channel drains and trench drains are ideal for hardscapes to prevent mildew growth, concrete staining, and costly damage by capturing and conveying excess water for proper release downstream
- The 5 in. Pro Series Channel Drain, as part of a complete channel drainage system, collects and conveys water to drain pipes for proper release downstream or to an infiltration device
Installation & Maintenance
- Modular design connects together for longer runs; can be cut to size as short as 4 in. long for smaller sections
- Removable drain grates make it easier to clean debris from the channel for maintenance
Materials & Sustainability
- 5 in. Pro Series Channel made of polypropylene (PP) using a combination of virgin and recycled content treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking
- Grates made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using a combination of virgin and recycled content treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking; slight color variations may occur
- Deep profile channels are made in the USA; shallow profile channels are made of imported materials
- Onsite stormwater management protects the watershed downstream, and limits excess runoff which can lead to negative impacts such as erosion, pollution, and flooding

The new radius coupling (NDS part # PSRC-864) easily connects to the deep profile section to allow for bends as small as 30 in. radius. The channel can also be cut to any angle using a miter saw. The same angle will need to be cut into another piece of channel. Glue the pieces together and secure the joint before encasing in concrete.
Sections of 5 in. Pro Series Channel can be connected using the interlocking end joints.
- Shallow profile: End caps can be purchased that connect to a 1-1/2 in. schedule 40 spout. NDS part # 822 has knockouts that can be used to drain water out of the sides of the channel. The side outlets have 3 in. sewer and spout and the bottom has an 1-1/2 in. schedule 40 spout.
- Deep profile: End caps can be purchased that connected to a 3 in. sewer and storm drain pipe hub or a 4 in. sewer and drain pipe fitting.
We recommend a 1/8 in. gap be left between grates during installation to allow for expansion of the grates.
The shallow channel manages 63 GPM at 1% slope. The deep channel handles 193.0 GPM at 1% slope. Grate flow rate is between 14.87 to 76.85 GPM per LF.
The shallow profile 5 in. Pro Series Channel is made from PVC. PVC glue can be used to glue all pieces together. The deep profile 5 in. Pro Series Channel is made from HDPE. Welder contact adhesive by Homax Products Inc. can be used to glue the accessories to the deep profile.
