ABSTRACT:
A modular trench drain for use in a trench drain system. The trench drain includes an open-faced channel including a narrow throat into which water can flow and a wider flow passage. The trench drain can include an integrally formed, removable cover which renders the channel close-faced. The removable cover is removed after installation of the drain. The throat can be offset to allow curbside installation of the trench drain. Protuberances are provided to secure the drain in the material in which the trench drain is embedded. Securement clips are provided for receiving support rods and reinforcing rods to ease installation and to provide structural stability to the trench drain.
