Trench Drain Specification
Trench Drain Specification
(OP)
Hello,
I'm looking for a trench drain specification. The trench drain will be primarily used in a heated pavement area, likely with concrete or asphalt paving. Can anyone please direct me to a good resource for examples? Thanks!

Also, it sounds as though you are in the neighborhood of a 6" wide trench drain. As such, you need to choose what material to have the grates and frame made of. There is Cast Ductile iron, galvanized ductile, stainless steel, galvanized steel, bronze, and a lot of patterns to the grates as well.
The Zurn and ACO websites provide a spec with the products as you go through the choices.
A quick, dirty example would be:
Trench Drain:
Trench drain shall be designed with a minimum 0.5% built in slope and flow 1 cfs. System shall be tested and certified to carry H20 loads and/or be certified to class C standards per EN1433 top load classification. Trench drain shall be provided in pieces necessary so that field modifications shall not be necessary. Manufacturer shall provide layout drawings to ensure proper installation of trench drain. Trench drain grates shall be made of XXXXXXXXXX material with a XXXXXXXXXXX coating. XX" (side / bottom) outlets shall be provided to attach to drain system.
