Product Overview
KlassikDrain - K100/K200/K300
General purpose steel edged, single lock, modular trench system
A general purpose modular drainage system, in a choice of 3 internal widths - 4”, 8" & 12”.
Ideal for pedestrian, commercial and light industrial applications.
Wide choice of grates - in various materials and styles
(including ADA-compliant) for applications from
Load Class A to Load Class E (up to 60 tons) EN 1433.
‘Anti-shunt’ lugs - recesses in underside of grate
fit around lugs on the edge rail to prevent
longitudinal movement.
E
QuickLok - a patented, boltless locking system
that provides quick fitting and removal of grates.
Dramatically reduces installation/maintenance
time and cost.
K300
12" internal width
K200
8" internal width
K100
4" internal width
Polymer concrete - a durable, yet lightweight
material made from polyester resin binder
reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers.
Steel edge rail - provides additional strength and
protects channel body from damage. (Galvanized
or stainless steel rail available.)
Sloped (0.5%) channel units - meter long units
provide 131'-3” (40 meter) continuous slope. This
equates to 1/17" fall per linear foot. Five neutral
channels extend run lengths. Four half-meter units
and accessories also available.

On occasion, installation constraints are of greater
concern than hydraulics. The most common constraint
is lack of depth. To offer solutions where shallow
trench drains are required, SlabDrain is available in
3 edge versions and 3 widths - all neutral depth.
Loading varies for each system, depending upon
edge rail and grate, up to heavy duty Class F (90
tons) EN 1433. All grates are secured to the channel
body by either QuickLok or PowerLok.
Brickslot is a discreet, drainage solution for use with
brick or stone pavers up to 2.5” (63mm) deep. The
ADA-compliant 0.44” (11mm) slot blends in with
paving joints giving an aesthetic solution.
Problem Solving Products
FlowDrain - FG200
E
A high capacity, fiberglass 8” (200mm) internal
drainage system with choice of bolted grates, ideal
for long straight runs in concrete slab applications
requiring large volumes of fluids to be removed.
Twelve 9ft (2.74m) channels provide a 1% built-in
slope and invert depths from 6.75" to 20.25" (172
- 514mm); creating a 108ft (32.9m) continuous
sloping run. Neutral channels in choice of 9ft
and 3ft lengths, and a choice of catch basins and
accessories, provide a complete modular system.

The slot cover is typically used on the KlassikDrain
K100 channel, but can also be used on the H100K
if depth restrictions are a concern. An access unit
provides discreet access to the channel or catch
basin for maintenance.
ACO DRAIN
PowerDrain - S100K/S200K/S300K
Heavy duty iron edged, multiple lock, modular trench systems
An extra heavy duty modular drainage system, in a choice of 3 internal widths - 4”, 8" & 12”.
Ideal for industrial and heavy commercial applications.
‘Anti-shunt’ lugs - recesses in grate fit around
lugs on the edge rail to prevent longitudinal
movement.
PowerLok - is a patented, boltless locking system
that provides quick fitting and removal of grates.
Helps reduce installation/maintenance time and cost.
F
Ductile iron grates - heavy duty ductile iron
grates in choice of slotted or ADA-compliant
longitudinal, rated up to Load Class F (90 tons) EN
1433.
S300K
12" internal
width
S200K
8" internal width
S100K
4" internal width
Polymer concrete - a durable, yet lightweight,
material made from polyester resin binder
reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers.
Ductile iron edge rail - integrally cast-in rail
provides maximum strength and protection for
channel body.
Sloped (0.5%) channel units - meter long units
provide 131'-3” (40 meter) continuous slope. This
equates to 1/17" fall per linear foot. Five neutral
channels extend run lengths. Four half meter units
and accessories also available.
ChemDrain
MiniKlassik
MembraneDrain
C
C
C
A 2” (50mm) internal width system for high profile,
aesthetic applications where a barrier is required
to separate wet and dry areas. Choice of grate
styles and materials.
Specifically for use in non-habitable suspended
slabs where any liquid permeating through the
paving is collected on a membrane and directed
into the trench drain. Available with galvanized
or stainless steel edge rail. Used in conjunction
with SlabDrain H80 or H100 channels. Loading is
determined by grate, up to Load Class C (25 tons)
EN 1433. Uses standard KlassikDrain K100 grates.
For habiltable suspended slabs use ACO ProfiLine.
ChemDrain provides solutions for use in
chemically aggressive environments. C100 has no
metal edge rail, is suitable for loadings up to Class
C (25 tons) EN 1433, and is ideal for use in areas
where no metals can be used (plastic grates are
available for such applications).
All KlassikDrain, PowerDrain and SlabDrain
polymer concrete parts are also available in
Vinylester polymer concrete.
Grates have been load tested in accordance with
EN 1433 guidelines. Loading is determined by
grate up to Load Class C (25 tons).

Choosing the Correct Trench Drain
Trench drains are designed to capture
and carry surface water; however,
failure is typically more critical if the
product 'physically' fails rather than if the
'functionality' fails. If channel sizing isn't
correct the result will be either short term
ponding (channel too small) or lower flow
velocity/sedimentation in the channel
(channel too big).
It is a priority to address where and how the
product will be used to ensure the correct
load rating and materials are selected for a
long service life.
In applications where flood damage to
property or personal risk are of concern,
then it is prudent to focus closely on the
hydraulic requirements of the project. ACO
offers several hydraulic support services to
accurately determine correct channel and
outlet sizing and layout to address these
concerns (see below).
1. Application
- where and how product to be used
1a) Loading
- traffic type and frequency
C
E
F
1b) Durability
- address liquids to be drained and
surrounding environment
1c) User Requirements
- project specific site, user,
legislative and aesthetic
requirements
2. Hydraulic Performance
- volume of liquid to be removed in a
given timeframe
