Nds 243-1 Channel Grate 2 Inch Black Polyolefin

Product Description

The NDS 243-1 is a 2-inch black channel grate made from structural foam polyolefin, designed for use with compatible NDS channel drain systems. Structural foam polyolefin offers a balance of rigidity and impact resistance while keeping component weight manageable. UV inhibitors are molded into the material to slow color degradation and surface breakdown from prolonged sun exposure. The grate can be secured directly to the channel body to prevent displacement under foot or vehicular traffic. It suits drainage installations on patios, driveways, walkways, and other paved surfaces where surface water needs to be directed away efficiently.

The NDS 243-1 is rated for both residential and commercial applications, covering a broad range of surface drainage needs. Typical install scenarios include concrete or paver patios, pool decks, parking areas, and entry drives subject to light vehicular loads. Its black finish blends with dark hardscape materials commonly used in commercial landscaping and residential outdoor spaces. Sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for contractors installing multiple runs of channel drain in a single project.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by landscapers, hardscape contractors, or plumbers working on surface drainage systems. Power or water supply shutoff is not required for grate installation, but the channel body should be fully set and cured in concrete or sand-set base material before grates are placed. Verify that the grate snaps or fastens securely to the channel using the manufacturer-intended locking mechanism to prevent uplift under traffic. Local grading and drainage codes may apply to channel drain placement and outlet connections.
