SANIPRO Drainage Trench - Channel Drain With Galvanized Steel Grate - 3 x 39" - (117" Total Length)

Works good, very easy to install, to connect them together.

The flange clips that allow the trench sections to be linked together are annoyingly cheap, and so it is easy to imagine breaking them while attempting to assemble the thing. I did not, but one could, I imagine. The attachments for the ends are also a little bit obnoxious. Anything you join has to be sealed in order to ensure that it's actually watertight, which seems like a pretty basic thing that could be easily fixed at the design phase of making this product. It was, however, rather cheap, so I am not complaining too much.

I was looking for a drain large enough that it could handle a lot of water run off. This is it !!It is very heavy duty both the bottom portion and metal drain cover.The slots are large and plenty of them to capture all the water.It connects together very easily on it's own and has the end cap, and an end to connect to a 4" drain pipe.I ordered the extra 4 way connection piece to make a "T". It can do a 3 way or a 4 way connection.Plus it looks very nice and professional.I had questions on the parts and the response time back was within the hour !!!Super Service all around which is why I wanted to write this review and show the pics of the project.It butted up very tightly to the loose rocks, carpet and the pavers. !!Highly recommend this for any drain project. Better to go large than to be too small !

These worked out well in the end. Here’s one IMPORTANT tip. If you are setting these in cement, the grates cannot be removed once the sides are set in hardened cement. This is due to the little tabs along the sides of each grate. The base needs to flex outward to release these tabs, which is impossible in a rigid cement installation.Luckily I realized this with only two sections fully grouted in. My solution was to dremel off each and every tab (a big job). I finally also got the two stuck grates off too by carefully plunge cutting each tab with a cutoff disk using the dremel (really delicate and difficult).Still once finished the grates have held up so far and seem to work well.

I bought these for my driveway and installed them to catch excess rainwater from coming in my garage. They are easy to assemble and seem to be working great. Not sure why other people were having problems. I would say if you’re handy and do these types of projects all the time they should work out well for you. The hardest part of the project is going to be cutting and digging into the asphalt or concrete. Installing the drain system was the easy part!
