Slot Drains = Invisible Drainage
A slot drain is a form of trench drain. Unlike other drains however, linear slot heelguard drains have a narrower opening whilst still maintaining the highest open area or `free area` percent of any grate on the market for water transfer.
The Slot Drain® Galvanized Steel drain makes exterior drainage and civil installs easier than ever before. The 6″ wide galvanized segments feature a 0.5% slope and 8″ shallow invert, which continues to 70″ depth. A 1-1/4″ slot opening will handle up to 27 GPM per foot of flow capacity.
The product derives its name from its appearance above ground, as merely a “slot”. From this visible inlet, surface water flows into the unseen linear channel beneath.
