FF Fast Frame

FF offers a robust frame and grate system designed for on-site drain fabrication. Contractors are responsible for fabricated depths, slopes and outlets in the field.

Available in a wide variety of widths including: 4", 6", 10", 12", 14", 17" and custom widths available upon request.

  • A frame and grate system similar to the FF model but with the addition of an EPS foam insert that creates precise and smooth channels after a monolithic concrete pour.

  • Channels can be created neutral or with any required slope. There are three standard channel bottom shape options including: flat, V, or round. Custom shapes are available upon request.

FP - Fiberglass Channel

This model provides high-flow rates with lightweight polyester fiberglass channels that nest together with integrated bell ends. Available in neutral and sloped sections. Sloped option can provide 120' of 1% continuous slope.

Applications needing to redirect effluents with harsh chemicals or extreme conditions can be addressed with a vinyl ester fiberglass version of this model. Available upon request to meet your project requirements.
