Specification Detail:
Quick-Trench channels are 1 meter (39.4 in) 2.2 Kg (5 lb) polypropylene sections with uniform exterior and 0.5% sloped or neutral interior full radius bottom for efficient liquid drainage. Channels mate to adjacent sections via integral ears, clips, and 25 mm (1 in) overlapping tongue. Each channel contains 4 receptacles for fixation to #3 rebar via wire or cable tie. Up to 15 meter (49.2 ft) sloped drainage run is possible to a single end point. Up to 30 meter (98.4 ft) sloped drainage run is possible to a center collection point. Neutral channels are available to extend run lengths or where level trench drain is desired. Channels have staggered semi-circular cutouts on each side at bottom to enable concrete flow under legs. Drainage options include bottom outlet, end outlet, or catch basin. Bottom and end outlet fittings in PVC are sized to accept 3 in or 4 in pipe. Bottom and end outlet fittings are available in PP where chemical resistance is needed. End fittings are universal fit and field trimmed to appropriate height. Grating options include ductile iron, galvanized, stainless steel, and plastic with lock down feature to secure grate to channel. Grate load ratings are available to suit nearly any application and may be specified ADA compliant. Refer to Trench Channel Table below for upstream (U) and downstream (D) depths from top of channel.
Choose Desired Channel Section Layout
Continuous Slope
Attach sloped channel sections so that downstream (D) end matches upstream (U) end. This provides continuous slope for the drain. Maximum run length in this configuration is 15 meters in one direction.
No Slope/Neutral
Choose neutral channel sections Q6-1000N, Q6-1005N, Q6-1010N, or Q6-1015N.
Maximum run length in this configuration is unlimited. Multiple bottom drains may be
located anywhere along the run length.
Stepped Fall
Select a combination of sloped and neutral channel sections. This enables a continuous run
of more than 15 meters by using neutral channel sections interspersed with sloped channel sections.
