Why the K100 Works

Simple breakdown: The K100 drainage channel is designed to collect and control surface water along paved areas. Its modular 39.37″ channel pieces connect seamlessly, making it suitable for both small and large drainage runs.

Typical applications:

• Residential: Driveways and patios where runoff needs to be redirected.
• Commercial: Parking lots, sidewalks, and storefronts prone to water buildup.
• Public areas: Parks, plazas, and pedestrian pathways requiring clean drainage solutions.

Key Features & Grate Options

• DrainLok® / QuickLok®: Bolt-free grate locking system for quick access and easy cleaning.
• Anti-shunt lugs: Prevent grate shifting under traffic loads.
• Numbered channels: Make installation straightforward with slope consistency.
• Wide grate range: Stainless, mesh, slotted, or ductile iron—rated up to Load Class E.

Choosing grates: Stainless and powder-coated grates provide a modern look, while ductile iron handles heavy traffic. Select grate strength and style to match the site’s requirements.

Planning & Installation Steps

1. Evaluate runoff: Locate pooling areas and water paths.
2. Pick outlet type: End, bottom, or catch basin outlet.
3. Calculate channel count: Each piece is 39.37″; add spares for trimming.
4. Set slope: Supports continuous slopes up to 130 ft for efficient water movement.
5. Choose grate class: Match to expected traffic load for safe, long-term performance.

Installation Process

• Excavate trench and prepare a bedding base.
• Place channels in order, following numbering for slope accuracy.
• Haunch with concrete and finish surface flush to grade.
• Secure grates with DrainLok® or QuickLok®.
