Let the currents of excess storm water flow away into the decorative catch basin drain grate featuring the wave design. With a stylish look inspired by nature, the drain grate complements its surroundings and features 3/8 in. grate openings to block pipe-clogging leaves and debris as it drains the excess water away. Ideal for draining moderate flows from lawns, landscaped areas, patios, walkways, and under downspouts. Drain grates, also known as drain covers, help keep your drain system running smoothly. As part of a complete drainage solution, they fit on top of 12 in. catch basins, risers, and low-profile adapters connected to drain pipes which carry the water to a discharge point downstream such as a pop-up emitter, or to percolate into the ground with a dry well or infiltration trench. The elegant plastic drain grate overlaps the top edge of the basin for a full, decorative effect. Made of polyethylene treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking, with open surface area of 25.7 sq. in. and 79 GPM flow rate. Rated for NDS Class B loads when properly installed and is ADA compliant.
