- DESIGN FEATURES: Made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) treated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and cracking; available in a variety of colors, styles, and materials
- SPECIFICATIONS: 53.1 sq. in. open surface area; 162 GPM flow rate; rated for NDS Class B loads (up to 175 psi) when properly installed—recommended for medium-duty pneumatic tire traffic, autos, and light trucks at speeds less than 20 mph; ADA compliant
Meet the drain grate, the guardian of your drainage system.

The 12x12 drainage grate, as part of a complete drainage solution, works with 12 in. catch basins, low-profile adapters, and risers that are connected to drain pipes to 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.
