Careful consideration to the following factors determine the channels design:
The Modular 6000 series had a standard overall width of 155 with a grating width
of 125. For wide channels to accommodate equipment discharge creating deluge and
turbulence, specify the 3000 series.
The channel profile is suitable for tile, resin and concrete floors. For applications
where heavy loads such as pallet trucks are anticipated, or thermal shock may
cause expansion, the 6010 EF profile if recommended. This expansion frame is
supplied factory tack welded to the reinforced channel and offers a true square
strong edge for dressing in resin. The floor finish is separated from the channel
,thus reducing the possibility of perimeter cracking under constant heavy traffic
or thermal shock (see installation).
The excellent smooth surface finish of stainless steel provides a self-cleansing
velocity of liquids at very shallow gradients, this being 0.75 m/s). Velocities
below this figure require manual flushing. Typical gradients are 1% (1:100)
for liquid waste, 2% (1:50) for water-borne solids. Please note that discharge
capacities of both channel and gully will be reduced when conveying water-borne
solids and the discharge of the drainage channel is relative to the flow rate
capacity of the outlet.
See 4000 series gratings section.
Options include connecting to a 5000 series gully
section, a trapped (plug-in trap) or untrapped Ø110mm/Ø160mm outlet
spigot.
