Slot Drain Pipe
Slotted Drain Pipe is a practical, aesthetically pleasing drainage inlet product for the efficient removal of surface water and sheet flow on streets and highways. It also is widely used in parking lots and similar locations to remove sheet flow without complex multiple grades, catch basins, or water channeling devices. Slot Drain (metal) Foster Supply provides all sizes of slotted drain products. These include 2 1/2', 6', and 8 1/2' tall slotted drains combined with whatever size pipe the job requires.
Slotted Drain is a unique pipe which removes sheet flow without multiple grades or water channeling devices. The pipe is cut along a longitudinal axis, and a trapezoidal or straight-sided grate with reinforcing spacer plates is welded to form a 1 3/4 -inch-wide slot opening.

Before Slot Drain, grating, trench drains and four-sloped floors were the standards.
Slot Drain changed surface drainage forever by providing the first pre-sloped, prefabricated drain system. The linear slot eliminates traditional grates that can be weak, trap bacteria and are difficult to clean. Slot Drain is applicable wherever floor or ground surfaces are subject to fluids, or have frequent cleaning requirements.
