Installing Mini Channel Drain

Mini Channel Drains

Mini but mighty, this solution features patented honeycomb reinforced walls for durability and flying buttress design for load-bearing support. Bottom flanges have an anchoring lip for straight installation without floating.

Mini Channel Drain

Key Features

  • Mini Channel Drains are 3-1/16 in. wide, 3-1/8 in. high, and 6 ft. long; length can be cut to size with a saw
  • Patented flying buttress design provides load-bearing support from both sides as well as underneath the channel
  • Unique flanges on the bottom of the channel provide an anchoring lip for straight installation and prevents floating
  • Customize system design with a variety of accessories
  • Grates available in an assortment of colors, materials, and styles

Applications

  • Handles light sheet flows from around pools and spas, concrete and paver patios, tennis courts, walkways and driveways 

  • 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 Mini Channel Drain and grate, as part of a complete drainage system, captures excess surface water and directs water away to connected drain pipes for proper release downstream or to an infiltration device

Installation & Maintenance

  • Create a water-tight connection between the outlet and pipe using solvent-weld PVC glue

  • Removable drain grates make it easier to clean debris from the channel for maintenance 

Materials & Sustainability

  • Channels are made in the USA

  • Onsite stormwater management protects the watershed downstream, and limits excess runoff which can lead to negative impacts such as erosion, pollution, and flooding
