STEP 1DRILLING THE DRAINAGE OUTLETS

DRILLING THE SIDE CONNEXTION WELL OPENING (IF REQUIRED)

AND/OR DRILLING THE VERTICAL CHANNEL OUTLET (IF REQUIRED)

1a. Using a hole saw, drill an opening

in order to install the vertical channel outlet.

1a. Using a concrete drill bit, drill small holes

following the guide which is appropriate

for your installation.

1b. Insert the vertical channel outlet above

the opening and seal.

1b. Using a cold chisel, clear the side con-

nection well opening.

2c. Pour a concrete slab if the clearance be-

tween the base of the channel and the

bottom of the trench exceeds 125 mm

(5 in) and let it harden.

level must be 3 mm to 5 mm (1/8 in to

3/16in)lowerthanthefinishedsurface.

2a. Dig the trench in accordance with

Table 1.

2b. Determine the outlet type: lateral for

side connection well, vertical for channel

or horizontal for the end of channel with

end plate with outlet used.

Method #1:

Place clumps of concrete having a consistent

texture against the channel joints.

Method #2:

Add concrete pavers or bricks against the

channel joints. Embed these leveling blocks

in concrete having a consistent texture.

bottom and sides of the trench, in accor-

dance with Figure 1. Take care to spread

the concrete evenly.

2h. Apply a concrete sealer at the joints be-

tween each channel.

2j. Unpack the grates and reinstall them.

3a. Insert the vandal-proof lock under the grate.

3c. Insert the grate into the channel.

3e. Using a 5-mm Allen wrench, tighten the screw to expand the lock and thus prevent removal of the grate.

3b. Press on the lock until it fits completely between the clips.

3d. Press the grate until the clips reach the recesses inside the channel.
