ACO KlassikDrain is a multi-purpose sloped 4 trench drain system suitable for internal and external applications. The polymer concrete channel incorporates galvanized steel
(K100S) or stainless steel (KS100S) integrally cast-in edge rail for improved aesthetics and to protect the edges of the channel.
ACO KlassikDrain grates are available with QuickLok locking, a unique boltless locking system, which improves the speed and ease of installation and maintenance.
- General purpose 4 polymer concrete trench system
- Unique QuickLok® boltless locking system for grates
- Integral galvanized steel or stainless steel wearing edge rail
- Modular one meter and half meter trench units
- 30 one meter (39.37) long, 0.6% sloped channel units creating 98-5 (30m) continuous slope
- Neutral one meter (39.37) and half meter (19.69) channel units in choice of 4 depths
- Tested to DIN 19580 Class E - 60 Ton / 135,000 lbs loading
QuickLok is a revolutionary grate locking system designed to improve accessibility to the channels for cleaning and maintenance. The factory-assembled components that make up the QuickLok locking system include a glass nylon stud and the special locking incorporates a spring locking device.
QuickLok components are an integral part of the gratings and only the locking bar must be fitted into the channel. The locking bar holds itself into the channels locking pockets with tension side grips, which can be released with a flat blade screwdriver. Removal for cleaning access is simple once the first grate is pulled out. A grate lifting tool is offered for easy removal.

A complete K100S system includes 30 sloped one-meter long channels; neutral (non-sloped) channels are also available in one meter and half meter lengths. The neutral channels are inserted at specific locations in the system to extend the system run to desired length. Neutral channels can also be used on their own for a simple single depth system. Catch basins, inlet/outlet caps and bottom PVC outlets, can also be used to complement the K100S system.

The ACO KlassikDrain system is offered with a variety of gratings to accommodate a wide range of applications. The metal rail edge is available as standard in galvanized steel. Options include stainless steel for high corrosion resistance environments.
The unique, distinctive appearance of the KlassikDrain system makes it the ideal trench drain system for applications where aesthetics is of paramount importance.
The choice of grating for a particular application depends primarily on the load requirements, aesthetics and user specifics such as ADA compliant, Heelsafe, and Bicycle safe factors.
ACO Drain channels are manufactured from polymer concrete. Polyester polymer concrete consists of polyester resin binder reinforced by mineral aggregates and fillers.
For increased chemical resistance Vinyl ester polymer concrete is available, consisting of Vinyl ester resin binder with superior silica aggregate fillers.
The smooth internal surface (Mannings roughness coefficient is 0.011) encourages improved liquid flow when compared to cement concrete. ACO Drain trench systems allow greater discharge rates to be achieved, or longer lengths of channel to be installed before an outlet is required.
The channels smooth impervious internal surface resists bacterial growth. Chemical cleaning and disinfecting can be carried out regularly without danger of deterioration. The use of high concentrations of bleach and caustic solutions should not be used with Polyester polymer concrete.
With low moisture absorption (+0.07% by weight) polymer concrete is completely resistant to frost and freeze-thaw cycles. The maximum recommended temperature for permanent contact is 180°F (82°C).
ACO Drain channels can occasionally be steam cleaned or exposed to boiling water, without risk of damage. Where continual exposure to boiling liquids or intensive steam cleaning is likely, an alternative channel material, for example stainless steel, should be considered.

ACO Drain channels are highly resistant to chemical attack and, with the appropriate grating, can be used in most environments where acids and dilute alkalis are likely to be encountered. The material is not affected by road de-icing salts, and conforms to ASTM - B117 Salt Spray Test.
In situations where exposure to aggressive chemicals is likely, Vinyl ester resin based channels should be specified. Refer to the chemical resistance chart, which gives resistance of both standard Polyester and Vinyl ester polymer concrete to various common chemicals.
When reviewing the potential application of a trench drain in a chemical environment, the following issues should be considered.
- Type(s) of specific chemical(s).
- Concentration percentages.
- Contact time with trench material.
- Range of temperatures of chemicals flowing into the trench drain system.
- The kind of flushing system employed to clear chemicals from the system.
- Cleaning agents should also be checked for compatibility with channel materials.
- The type of traffic must always be taken into account, to ensure correct load specification.
- ACO test blocks can be used to make a final determination for chemical resistance.
- Grate, edge rail/frame, outlet and trash bucket materials need to be checked for chemical resistance.
- If ACO Drain standard products cannot provide adequate chemical resistance, contact Aquaduct, Inc. for a full custom product solution.
Please call for our Chemical Resistance Chart before making design and specification decisions.
