Fernco Inc FSDP-CHGG Storm Drain Channel with Grates

Product Description

The FERNCO INC FSDP-CHGG is a surface water storm drain channel system designed to capture and redirect sheet flow and runoff at grade level. The channel measures 39.5 inches in length and ships with grates that clip in without tools, simplifying setup. A bottom outlet accommodates 3-inch and 4-inch sewer drain pipe, making it compatible with standard residential and light commercial drainage infrastructure. The unit is UV inhibited for outdoor durability and is rated for loads up to 5 tons, qualifying it for driveways and vehicle traffic areas. Plumbers and drainage contractors install this type of channel where surface water management is required.

This drain channel is suited for residential and light commercial applications where surface pooling is a problem. Typical installations include driveways between garage aprons, patios, swimming pool surrounds to divert water away from landscaping, gardens, sport courts, and walkways. The clip-in grate design allows for quick cleanout access during routine maintenance. The lightweight construction reduces handling effort on-site without sacrificing the load rating needed for vehicle traffic zones.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers or drainage contractors following local plumbing and storm drainage codes. Set the channel in a prepared trench or concrete bed so the grate surface sits flush with the surrounding hardscape to capture sheet flow effectively. Confirm the outlet connection to the downstream drain pipe is properly sealed before backfilling or pouring surrounding concrete. Always verify local municipal requirements for storm drain discharge points before completing the installation.
