Keep hardscapes free of excess water with an attractive drainage solution that’s easy to install and maintainch The Slim Channel™ Drain, part of the NDS Profile Channel series, captures light flows of runoff from pool and spa areas, concrete and paver patios, and walkways to prevent growth of slippery mildew, concrete erosion, and costly property damage. Channel drains, also known as trench drains, are long, narrow drains used for surface drainage of flat areas such as hardscapes. As part of a complete drainage system, channel drains collect and convey water to drain pipes, which carry the water downstream to discharge with a pop-up emitter, or to percolate into the ground with a dry well or infiltration trench. The Slim Channel Drain Kit comes with a polyvinyl chloride channel drain preassembled with slotted polypropylene grates, 2 end caps/outlets, 2 anchor clips, 1 coupling, and 1 bottom outlet. Channel can be solvent-welded with PVC glue for a water-tight connection. Snap-in slotted grates make it easy to clean out your system. NDS offers free tools such as the Channel Drain Selector, Home Drainage Center, and NDS Stormwater Drainage mobile app to help make your project a success. Founded in 1972, NDS is the preferred choice of professionals and the leader in stormwater management solutions with proven products, tools, and support to help you get the job done right.
