For excess surface water around pools and spas, concrete and paver patios, and walkways, use the Micro Channel™ Drain, part of the NDS Profile Channel series, to drain light flows of runoff before it lingers and grows slippery mildew, causes deck stains, erodes property, and other costly structural damage. Here’s how it works. Channel drains, also known as trench drains, are long, narrow drains that capture water from surrounding surfaces. As part of a complete drainage system, it directs water to drain pipe for proper release downstream—to discharge with a pop-up emitter, or to percolate into the ground with a dry well or infiltration trench. Micro Channel Drain and grate come as one integrated part for an easy install. Made of polyvinyl chloride ; connect with a coupling. The modular design makes it easy to add turns with 45º and 90º elbows; add bottom, side, and end outlets. For maintenance, add Micro Channel Cleanouts along the length of the drainch Elbows, tees, outlets, and cleanouts are sold separately so you can design your system as needed. NDS offers free tools such as the Channel Drain Selector, Home Drainage Center, and NDS Stormwater Drainage mobile app to help make your project a success. Founded in 1972, NDS is the preferred choice of professionals and the leader in stormwater management solutions with proven products, tools, and support to help you get the job done right.
