Yes. Prefabricated 45°, 90°, tee’s, and crosses can be purchased. 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 Spee-D Channel can be connected together using the either the Channel Strainer Coupling (NDS part # 245) or the Channel Coupling (NDS part # 248).

There are two options to drain the water out of the Spee-D Channel; the end of the channel or the bottom of the channel. There are two end caps that can be installed to the end of the channel. NDS part # 245 connects to 2” schedule 40 pipe and part # 249 connects to both 3” sewer and drain pipe and 4” sewer and drain fittings. The bottom drain channel comes with an atrium grate pre-inserted in the channel to prevent debris from entering the storm drain system. The bottom drain fits 3” or 4” sewer and drain fittings.

We recommend a 1/8” gap be left between grates during installation to allow for expansion of the grates.

The channel itself will hold about the same volume of water as a 4” diameter pipe

Yes. The recommended method install the channel is to drive a piece of ½” or 5/8” piece of rebar into the ground in the trench. Then drill small holes in the bottom flange of the channel. Next, insert tie wire into the hole and twist it onto the rebar such that the top of the channel sits 1/8” below the finished edge of the concrete.
