Slot trench drains
The main difference is the width of the open part (the slot) of a slot trench drain. The width of a slot drain is much narrower than on traditional trench drain systems; however, slot drains still provide a significant volume of water flow. At Vodaland, we offer three main options: MICRO slot drain system, STANDARD slot drain system and WALL slot drain system
What is the difference between Slot Drains and Trench Drains?
Trench drains use a flat grate that will be fully visible and removable once installed. The slot drain is best for those that want their trench drain to be the least visible once installed. Slot drains narrow the channel to a thin slot at the top, and cannot be removed once installed due to encasement.
How does the cleanout and cleanout slot top work?
The cleanout functions as the endpoint for collected water before it exits the system through piping. The cleanout features a basket inside for large debris collection, and smaller sediment collects at the bottom. The purpose is to prevent the risk of blockages in your piping. The slot on the top is specially designed to look seamless with the rest of your slot drains. You can fill the sides of the cleanout top to match your floor, and the top can still be removed for regular maintenance.
Do I need to buy covers?
We sell covers for this system which protect the slot opening from unwanted debris, and protects pedestrians from risk of injury due to the slot opening. The covers are stainless steel, and are ADA/Heelproof to allow for barefoot traffic. We offer our covers in 3 designs options: slotted, raindrop, and maple leaf (maple leaf's jagged shape does not allow for barefoot traffic). Please note that the covers are to be applied before install, and are not removable afterwards.
Available load classes for our Slot Drains:
Load Class A - pedestrian foot traffic
Load Class B - Residential vehicle traffic (no parking) and yard equipment
Load Class C - Vehicle parking and commercial vehicle traffic

WHAT MAKES SLOT DRAINS DIFFERENT FROM TRENCH DRAINS?
The main difference is the width of the open part (the slot) of a slot trench drain. The width of a slot drain is much narrower than on traditional trench drain systems; however, slot drains still provide a significant volume of water flow. At Vodaland, we offer three main options: MICRO slot drain system, STANDARD slot drain system and WALL slot drain system
The MICRO is only 1" in height of slot grate and is good for small areas and thin paving materials.
The STANDARD slot drain is 4" in height of slot grate and mostly used for brick paving or concrete pouring.
The WALL slot drain system is ideal when you need to install it against an existing wall or foundation. It is also 4" in height of slot grate.
SOME TECHNICAL INFO ON VODALAND'S SLOT DRAIN SYSTEM
All channels come with a standard size 3.3 ft (1 m) in length and 4" in internal channel width. The depth of a channel varies, depending on the amount of water you need to remove and the technical conditions of your base.
The available depths of channels are: 2", 3", 4", 6" and 8". They come with two end caps and can be connected in line with no additional adapters. Also, there is not any special adapter needed to connect two channels on 90 degrees.
Channels with depth 4", 6" and 8" have a side (cut-out) outlet with 3" diameter, bottom (cut-out) outlet with 4" diameter and end cap (cut-out) outlet with 3" diameter.
Our channel with 3" depth has 4" diameter outlet at the bottom and our channel with 2" depth has 3" diameter outlet at the bottom of a channel.
The height of MICRO slot drain is 1". STANDARD and WALL slot drain systems have 4" height. The opening side - the part of the system which is on top of the surface - is 5/8" for all of our slot trench drain system types.
In addition, you can order a slot grate cover that will prevent the system from developing large debris inside of it.
