NDS 970 Square Grate Spee-D Catch Basin - 6 in. Drain Pipes & Fittings - 9 in. Black Plastic

To effectively manage stormwater, ensure that excess stormwater is drained away without allowing leaves and debris to block the drain. The 9-inch Square Drain Grate is designed to prevent troublesome particles from clogging the drain pipes while allowing stormwater to flow through. This drain grate, also known as a drain cover, is perfect for draining moderate flows from lawns, landscaped areas, patios, walkways, and under downspouts.

With an open surface area of 28.4 square inches and a flow rate of 87 gallons per minute (GPM), the 9-inch square drain grate can be connected to the Spee-D Catch Basin Drain, 6-inch sewer and drain pipe & fittings, 6-inch single-wall and dual-wall corrugated pipes, and 6-inch Drain Waste Vent/Schedule 40 pipe for a secure fit. ADA Compliant, this pipe grate is built to withstand the elements with its polyethylene construction, a type of plastic that includes a combination of virgin and recycled content treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking.

As part of a comprehensive drainage system, the grate ensures that water is effectively drained while preventing leaves and debris from causing blockages in the pipes. The water can be carried to a discharge point downstream, such as a pop-up emitter, or allowed to percolate into the ground using a dry well or infiltration trench.
