URA WATER - Model UA-100 - Drainage Trench Set - Channel Drain With Grate - Black Plastic - 3 x 39" - (117" Total Length)

Very strong thick plastic. Tip for joining: Don't use a silicone caulk (like my first try) to seal up the joints. Rough up the edges being joined with a wire brush and use a very strong waterproof adhesive. I had some Shoe Goo handy and that worked great.

Item Description: Drainage Trench - Channel Drain With Grate - Gray Plastic - 3 x 39" - (117" Total Length) Pros: plastic is heavy duty, durable. pieces are well formed & snap together easily & properly I am using this for the back of a paver patio that had a water issue. If I were using it for a driveway, I'd probably cement it into place. Cons: I tried PVC glue but it doesn't seem to really work like it should. Probably "user error"lol I did not try silicon caulk.. I just wanted to get the trench into the ground & not get messy. The reality is, you do not really need anything to connect the pieces together.. it fits just fine. Suggestions to manufacture: It is lightweight: meaning.. when I installed it & used a garden hose to test it out, the water flowed over the units & had gone underneath of the entire trench & floated it. I ended up drilling two holes per section & staked it with 12 inch stakes into the ground to hold it into place. This worked fine. Would I buy again or as a gift? Yes Did I receive anything for this review? NO! I paid full price for this item.

I was looking for a drain large enough that it could handle a lot of water run off. This is it !! It is very heavy duty both the bottom portion and metal drain cover. The slots are large and plenty of them to capture all the water. It connects together very easily on it's own and has the end cap, and an end to connect to a 4" drain pipe. I ordered the extra 4 way connection piece to make a "T". It can do a 3 way or a 4 way connection. Plus it looks very nice and professional. I had questions on the parts and the response time back was within the hour !!! Super Service all around which is why I wanted to write this review and show the pics of the project. It butted up very tightly to the loose rocks, carpet and the pavers. !! Highly recommend this for any drain project. Better to go large than to be too small !

The flange clips that allow the trench sections to be linked together are annoyingly cheap, and so it is easy to imagine breaking them while attempting to assemble the thing. I did not, but one could, I imagine. The attachments for the ends are also a little bit obnoxious. Anything you join has to be sealed in order to ensure that it's actually watertight, which seems like a pretty basic thing that could be easily fixed at the design phase of making this product. It was, however, rather cheap, so I am not complaining too much.

The durable drain system, I am using only where there is occasional foot traffic. Well made and good for the money. I installed with 2 ft rebar... 4 per section, Quickcrete and side discharge to keep as high as possible to drain water into existing tile. I wish I could have had the option to buy 2 sections only

I bought these ones specifically because it came with the end cap for a 4" drain pipe. They're actually MORE expensive than similar at Home Depot. Be aware these are extremely cheap and the connections are basically non-existent. The end cap desing SUCKS, does not fit 4" flex pipe properly - I ended up having to glue it and duct tape... I could've rigged something similar with the ones from HD that didn't have a proper end cap... the only reason I bought these instead. The end cap itself does not snap in AT ALL either - it must be glued - which does not hold well and will add a day to your prep time just for this step... The connections are extremely small and weak. 1/3 of them were broken out of the box, the remaining pretty much all broke when trying to line everything up and wiggle the whole length slightly... trash.. Like someone else said there are not many protrusions on the bottom for concrete to grip. Over all very poor quality and difficult to install. Lots of silicone and duct tape required just to hold things together and make it look less professional... The ones at the hardware store seemed much better and cost less. If you're fine with rigging your own end cap or using bottom drain, I would highly recommend another brand over these.

We were on an impossible deadline due to a late addition to the project and no material being available from our suppliers. Searched, found and ordered for next day delivery. We ended up only using one of the 3 sections and the store was extremely happy with the install. AMAZON TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!!!! Thanks

Le produit est très bien comme mentionné mais pas essayé encore

Need a stronger grating system.

I bought a set with metal grates and a set with platic grates to see which id like best. Oddly the metal wont take cars driving over them without sagging but the platic ones still hold up to a one ton truck no problem. they were no good in less than a year
