Applications
- Collects heavy flows from driveways, patios, courtyards, walkways, & sport 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 8 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
- 8 in. Pro Series Channel is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) using a combination of virgin and recycled content treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking
- 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
