A Summary of the ACO Drain Product Line

ACO DRAIN

The ACO Group

Founded in 1946, the ACO Group

manufactures products for the

building and construction industry.

ACO is the global leader, and

pioneer, of modular trench drain

systems. ACO drainage systems are

used in a variety of applications

- from domestic environments to

airports. ACO products have been

used at many prestigious locations,

including Olympic stadiums, since

1972.

ACO USA was founded in 1978 and is

America’s foremost manufacturer of

trench drainage products.

ACO Drain

ACO Drain is North America's

market leading, modular trench

drain system and is produced at the

company’s modern manufacturing

facilities in Ohio and Arizona.

ACO Drain offers the most

comprehensive range of trench drain

solutions for every application. ACO

Drain products come in a variety of

widths, depths, lengths, and load

ratings with grates to suit.

ACO. The future of drainage

Service Chain

To support this extensive product range ACO provides full support from before

design conception to product after care.

Services include product training and continuing education seminars,

continuous product innovation, full in-house design layout service, field

support and post-installation advice and support.

System Chain

ACO is a global leader in water management, with products to collect,

clean, hold and release water; addressing all phases of the water cycle and

supporting sustainable drainage and LEED principles.

ACO Drain focuses on products that address the collection phase.

Product Overview

KlassikDrain - K100/K200/K300General purpose steel edged, single lock, modular trench system

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.

Steel edge rail - provides additional strength and protects channel body from damage. (Galvanized or stainless steel rail available.)

QuickLok - a patented, boltless locking system that provides quick fitting and removal of grates. Dramatically reduces installation/maintenance time and cost.

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.

Polymer concrete - a durable, yet lightweight material made from polyester resin binder reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers.

‘Anti-shunt’ lugs - recesses in underside of grate fit around lugs on the edge rail to prevent longitudinal movement.

A general purpose modular drainage system, in a choice of 3 internal widths - 4”, 8" & 12”. Ideal for pedestrian, commercial and light industrial applications.

E

FlowDrain - FG200

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.

ESlabDrain

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.

C FEBrickslot

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.

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.

Problem Solving Products

MiniKlassik

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.

Grates have been load tested in accordance with EN 1433 guidelines. Loading is determined by grate up to Load Class C (25 tons).

CChemDrain MembraneDrain

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.

ACO has an established Technical Services Department with many years experience advising on surface drainage.

This free service is offered with no obligation and is supported with extensive, high quality information, brochures and technical documentation.

Services include advice at project design stage through to on-site advice when required.

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).
