ACO PowerDrain S100K. An extra heavy duty sloped trench drain system available in 4” (S100K) and 12”  (S300K)internal widths. Each channel unit has a cast-in, ductile iron, wearing edge rail which provides support for the 200,000 lb (90 ton) load bearing grates. Grates are held captive by the unique “PowerLok” boltless locking system.

Product Information & Usage

ACO Drain is the market leading modular trench drain system and is ideal for commercial applications varying from gas stations to airport.

ACO Drain systems consist of factory manufactured channel units made from either corrosion resistant polymer concrete or fiberglass, together with grates from a variety of materials for all loading applications. ACO Drain systems are available in 4", 8", 12" and 24" internal widths, and all systems are available with a built-in slope.

Applications

• Airports
• Highways
• Heavy duty industrial areas
• Gas stations
• Docks & ports
• Military bases
• Truck stops
   

Features and Benefits

• ‘Anti-shunt’ lugs - recesses in grate fit around lugs on the edge rail to prevent longitudinal movement.
• Ductile iron grates - heavy duty ductile iron grates in choice of Load Class F slotted or ADA compliant
• Ductile iron edge rail - integrally cast-in rail provides maximum strength and protection for channel body. Shock absorbing widgets, with M10 stainless steel threads, are fitted in rail to assist with grate fit and aid hanging installation.
• PowerLok - is a patented, boltless locking system that provides quick fitting and removal of grates. Helps reduce installation / maintenance time and cost (see PowerLok)
• Direction arrows cast on side of channel indicate flow direction and ensure channels are installed correctly.
• Profiled side walls - strengthening pillars and frost keys provide channel body strength and mechanical keying to surrounding concrete.
• Bottom drill-outs are included on all channel units to allow vertical evacuation of the system along the run. S100K has Schedule 40 drill-outs for 4” or 6” pipe.
• 4” internal width S100K - Modular meter (39.37”) and half meter (19.69”) channels. ‘U’ shaped bottom improves flow hydraulics.
• Polymer concrete - a durable yet lightweight material made from polyester resin binder reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers. It provides up to four times the compressive strength of cement concrete (see Material Properties)
• 12” internal width S300K - meter (39.37”) and half meter (19.69”) channels. ‘U’ shaped bottom improves flow hydraulics.
• Sloped (0.6%) channel units - meter long units provide 98’-5” continuous slope. Neutral units can be used to extend run lengths.
• Interconnecting end profiles allow easy and effective joining of channels. Appropriate sealant can be used to create a sealed joint.
