Floor Drain Grates 1

[SpiderM]

I need to specify a floor grate over a trench drain inside a warehouse. I have never specified a grate before. Could someone recommend a source to determine size of grate and how to specify/call out? Also, the client has requested "lock down bolts", where can I find these and how should I specify?

Thanks in advance.

Check with a local grating supplier; you may have to design it for forklift traffic. This may have high wheel loads.

Check out the Metal Bar Grating industry website at this link:

They have excellent information on selecting and specifying grating. Also a list of vendors.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million.

I'd look into Zurn. They have some presloped drain trenches and some that are grates only. There's a lot of selection:
