    What are the lengths of each trench drain? How do I know how much to get for my project?

    Our trench drain products are highly customizable and flexible for your needs. The trench drain systems can be connected together to form a continuous trench of any length required for your project. In cases where our standard units do not match your required length, most of our trench drains can be cut with the appropriate tools and still provide full functionality. We recommend speaking with a Vodaland employee to confirm that you have the proper tools to cut your trench drain channels to size. 

    What’s the difference between Easy, Base and Pro trench drains?

    Vodaland provides an extensive selection of trench drain systems, classified into the Easy, Base, and Pro product offerings. These trench drains are differentiated based on the load class that they are designed to withstand. The Easy trench drain category is perfect for residential projects that require pedestrian traffic support, while the Base category provides trench drains that meet load classes A-C, making them ideal for projects that involve vehicle traffic and need competitive pricing. The Pro category provides unparalleled durability with features such as ductile iron grates, and metal reinforcing on the channels to support heavy loads. These heavy-duty drains are ideal for commercial projects like highways, warehouses, and factories. 

    How do I connect trench drains together and how do I connect the piping?

    Vodaland designs all trench drain channels, including stainless steel trench drain channels, to be connectable to one another via male-to-female connections. Depending on the model, your trench drain may either click or fit together for connection. 

    For piping, Vodaland provides plastic channel drain systems with outlet options located on the bottom, sides, and ends. These options vary for each size of the channel, so please review the product drawing for the outlet locations. To connect these outlets to 4” Schedule 40 PVC, we sell additional adapters. For other types of piping, we recommend using external rubber couplings to connect them to the outlets. Simply take your pipe size and outlet size to your local hardware store, and they should provide you with the appropriate coupling.

    What is trench drain?

    A linear drainage system, also known as a trench drain system, is designed to efficiently move storm waters and surface water from one place to another. The use of stainless steel trench drains ensures corrosion resistance and longevity of the system, making it ideal for various commercial and industrial applications such as manufacturing plants and food processing.

    One of the main points to consider when you design your trench drain system is a Load Class. Load classes can vary widely and depend on the load that will be applied to a trench drain. Below is a list of load classes:

    A class (pedestrian, bicycles, carts, etc.)

    B class (light vehicles, cars)

    C class (commercial vehicles)

    D class (heavy-duty machinery)

    E class (extra-heavy duty machinery and equipment)

    F class (airport's traffic)

    Another point to consider is the amount of water that has to be removed from the area. This is regulated by the width and depth of a trench drain channel. Feel free to call us if you need more details on this.

    How are Vodaland's trench drains different?

    Our channel drains provide customers with flexible options to fit their specific project's needs. We offer stainless steel, galvanized steel, ductile cast iron and plastic grate options for out trench drains. Our channels come with end caps, side, and bottom outlets. No adapters or additional parts are needed for a 90-degree connection. Our trench drain grates are interchangeable, made of different materials and may be replaced and changed at any time when you upgrade your drainage system or for maintenance and cleaning purposes. All of the above will save you time during the installation and make the process smooth and easy.
