Each grate is lightweight and easy to handle (approx. 1-3 lb depending on configuration) and combines with 2' lengths to cover 4' and 10' channel basins. For full system performance, pair with NDS Spee-D channels, couplers, and recommended end fittings. Recommended accessories include NDS hold-down screws (NDS829), channel couplers, and end outlets. Installers should verify site drainage requirements, secure grates at each section with recommended fasteners, and follow local codes. Replacement grates are available to match existing Spee-D systems. See product specification sheet for flow rates, load classifications, and installation details.
