NDS - 4 in. Plastic Square Drainage Grate in Black

The drain grate, also referred to as a drain cover, serves as a crucial component of your drainage system. Specifically designed for managing light flows of stormwater from small lawns, landscaped areas, patios, and walkways, the durable 4 in. Square Grate effectively blocks leaves and debris from entering and potentially causing clogs in your pipeline. Featuring an open surface area of 3.5 sq. in. and a flow rate of 11 gallons per minute (GPM), this square grate boasts increased capacity and efficiency compared to round grates of similar pipe diameter, thanks to its flared-out design. It seamlessly connects to 3 in. sewer and drain pipe & fittings, 3 in. single-wall corrugated pipe, and 3 in. triple-wall pipe for a secure, soil-tight fit, making it ideal for areas where the depth for a catch basin is limited. The grate is ADA Compliant and designed to be heel-proof, ensuring safety. Crafted from polyethylene—a durable plastic blend incorporating both virgin and recycled content—the grate is treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking over time. As an integral part of a comprehensive drainage system, it effectively directs water while keeping unwanted debris out of drain pipes, directing water either to a downstream discharge point such as a pop-up emitter or allowing it to percolate into the ground via a dry well or infiltration trench.
