Sand trap for drainage

What is the difference between and inline sand trap and a catch basin?

There isn't a difference in purpose, since they function the exact same. The major difference between an inline sand trap and basin is the design and focus. The primary focus of an inline sand trap is to act as an end-point or middle-point for your trench drain line. The inline sand trap is meant to look the exact same as the rest of your trench drains once installed. The catch basin however is a square shape that focuses on standalone use.

Do the traps come with grates? What is included?

Some of our sand traps come with grates while some do not. The best way to identify if you are to receive a grate with your sand trap is through the product image. The slot sand trap, drive sand trap, and plastic grate sand trap come with a grate included. The remainder require you to buy a grate additionally for your sand trap.

Can I use any of the outlet options?

Yes, the great thing about our sand traps is that they are designed to allow outlet use from any of the cut-out options, no matter the situation. It is important however to identify where your piping would run from that outlet, and what may impede that piping.

Can this be used standalone?

While they are primarily designed for use with our trench drains or slot drains, the inline sand trap can be used standalone.

How do I install this?

This installs the same as any other trench drain would, and is compatible with our mounting bracket install method. Please be attentive to the additional depth needed to fit the sand trap. It is incredibly important to have the grate remain in the sand trap during installation

due to the possibility of the weight of the concrete warping the sand trap basin. It

is also important to use a brace to support the middle of the trap, since the depth makes

the middle especially vulnerable to warping.
