EconoDrain® #6 Trench Drain System Specification Section 02600 Drainage and Containment

[Long Form]

Note to Specifier: General guidelines use Division 2 when the trench drain is outside the building structure and Division 15 when inside the structure. Use of Division 3 is utilized on smaller projects.

The following specification is for a six inch (6”) trench width utilizing an 8” wide grate/cover. These systems are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications requiring H-20 loading. Alternate grates for ADA applications are included. In areas subject to solid tire forklift traffic or other ex- heavy vehicles turning while on top of the grate, a ductile iron grate may be advisable dependent upon actual loading.
