Description
Pre-Sloped Radius Channels
Standard PolyDrain channels have a builtin 0.6% slope with a smooth radius bottom and a narrow cross section. These features provide excellent hydraulic efficiency. Without any site slope, a 3.5 feet per second self-cleaning velocity is obtained when the channels are flowing full.
Independent Anchor Frame
Independently anchored frames transfer the dynamic loads directly into the encapsulation concrete and channels are mechanically anchored via the full length rib. This eliminates the wheel load from creating strain on the channel and keeps the channel
PolyWall® Sidewall Extensions
PolyWall I and II Sidewall Extensions allow the designer or contractor to extend a continuous- sloping channel run from 98.1 ft. (30 m) to 294.3 ft. (90 m) without necessity of a catch basin or outlet.
Interlocking Joints
PolyDrain channels have interlocking tongue-andgroove joints that serve two important functions. First they aid in maintaining proper channel alignment during the pour. Second, they assist in securing channel connections to prevent fluid migration out of the system. ABT maintains a line of sealants that can be applied to channels when a sealed system is required.
Anchoring Ribs
PolyDrain channels are formed with full-length anchoring ribs on each side of the channel at the base of the side wall. These anchoring ribs provide a positive mechanical lock with
Gender Mender Outlet Channel
A series of specially modified channels that addresses the difficulties encountered when two sloping channels converge where a vertical outlet is required. For every outlet channel (050, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300), a Gender Mender channel is molded with a female interlocking joint at the low point. This feature provides proper channel alignment and eliminates field fabrication for these center draining configurations
