Key Features

  • Spee-D Channel Drains are 4-3/4 in. wide, 3-3/4 in. high, and 4 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

  • Manages moderate water flows from driveways, concrete and paver patios, pool areas, courtyards, and walkways
  • 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 Spee-D 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

  • Use solvent-weld PVC glue to create a water-tight connection between the outlet and pipe 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

    Specifications & Documents

    Channel & Trench Drains & Grates

    Yes, galvanized steel and cast iron grates are available for the Spee-D Channel.

    Yes. Prefabricated 45°, 90°, tees, 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.

    The grates can be screwed to the channel using NDS part #229 stainless steel screws.

    Sections of Spee-D Channel can be connected using 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.

    The channel itself handles 94.3 GPM at 1% slope. Grate flow rate is between 23.70 to 59.04 GPM per linear foot.

    Spee-D Channel grates are available in white, grey, green, black, sand, and brick red.

    The plastic grates are rated to support automobiles, light trucks, and medium-duty pneumatic tires (up to 175 psi) at speeds less than 20 m.p.h.

    The Spee-D Channel is available in 4 foot and 10-foot sections. The channel can be easily cut to any length.
