Installation is: Easy As 1. Prepare 2. Install 3. Finish
Prepare Trench
Dig a trench of at least 7 ¼” deep x 10″ wide and place compacted bedding sand or concrete in the base. Ideally the trench drain should be sloped at a grade of 1% to prevent water pooling along the length of trench drain. Use a string line to ensure straightness and the correct finish height.
Install Channel
Connect US Trench Drain sections together using the easy male to female interlocking system. It is recommended that you connect 3 lengths of US Trench Drain together with the grates attached before placing it into the trench. It is also recommended to cover the grates with a masking tape to prevent backfill falling into the trench or damaging the finish of your grate during the concreting process. Connect a US Trench Drain End Cap to the highest point of your trench drain.
To change direction of your trench drain, use a US Trench Drain Corner Piece
to change the direction to the left or right, or to use a US Trench Drain Tee
piece to change the direction to the left and right. It is also possible to
cut and join US Trench Drain in 8″ increments using the US Trench Drain
Convertor piece SKU 83370. The Convertor can also be used to connect male ends
of the trench drain or the male end of a trench drain to a Corner Piece, End
Cap or End Multi pipe Adaptor. When using the convertor piece, it is necessary
to trim the locking piece of the connecting rib using a sharp knife.
At the lower end of the trench drain, the trench drain can either be connected
by using another end cap or by using a Deep Series End Multi pipe Adaptor SKU
83355 to connect to 3″ & 4” Schedule 40 plain end pipe, 3” & 4” ABS plain end
pipe, 4” Triple wall solid or perforated pipe, or 4” Corrugated solid or
perforated pipe.
If you want to connect the pipe to the bottom outlet of the trench drain you
can use a Deep Series Bottom Multi pipe adaptor SKU 83356, by cutting out the
inner circle collar of the channel and installing the pipe adaptor to connect
to 3″ & 4” Schedule 40 plain end pipe, 3” & 4” ABS plain end pipe, 4” Triple
wall solid or perforated pipe, or 4” Corrugated solid or perforated pipe.
US Trench Drain recommends using our P oly Adehsive s ku 20095 when connecting
to the PVC, ABS or HDPE p ipe t o the channel outlets or the multi pipe
adaptors.
DO NOT USE PVC GLUE
Finish Installation
US Trench Drain expansion joint SKU 50006 or 50012 should be installed on both
sides of the trench drain along its whole length. Upper edge of the strip
should be level with the upper edge of the trench drain. This allows for the
grates to be removed once installed should cleaning be necessary. If
installing in concrete, please cover the grates during the pouring of concrete
to avoid damaging your grates or prevent backfill entering the channel.
Once you are ready to start laying your drain, position the trench drain into
the concrete slurry or compacted sand so that the feet of the trench drain are
completely immersed. Our unique design will prevent the need to stake the
trench drain into place, as it will not float.
With the US Trench Drain and grate in place, pour concrete along the outer
walls of the trench drain to a thickness of 2″ Lightly compact and finish the
concrete slightly above the surface level of the grate (approximately 1/8″).
This will promote runoff from the surrounding areas into the drain.
