Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co. Drainage Systems offers a revolutionary concept in presloped drainage channels - 9810 System. The 9810 utilizes sophisticated hydraulics to maximize the use of each radiused bottom channel. The 9810 System is composed of 10 sloped and 6 neutral channels: (3) 3 meters (9 feet, 10 inches) in length, and (3) 1 meter (3 feet, 3 inches) in length.

The channels have a 1.0% slope to increase the velocity of the liquid flow. In comparison to conventional 4 inch width uniformly sloped systems, 9810 provides approximately 20% higher flow capacity and velocity. This is a substantial benefit in large applications where high capacity is a concern.

Channels are available in both high performance polyester and vinylester fiberglass and provide resistance to a variety of corrosive elements. This offers minimum maintenance costs and long service life to systems even in extreme chemical environments.

Channels are molded precisely with a smooth finish and are color coded for both material types. Polyester units are tan and vinylester units are gray: both are marked with flow direction arrows and progressive channel numbers. Male/female channel ends form high integrity lap joints.

The lightweight channels are easily assembled to the grate frame. Each channel is fitted with a "Z" profile, coated steel, galvanized or stainless steel frame, depending on the application. The grate frames are available in 3 meter lengths. The labor savings compared to shorter, heavier systems is substantial.

Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co. Drainage Systems offer a line of grates and covers engineered to fit securely with 9810 channels which come equipped with Quicklock® locking devices. Grates are selected based on traffic conditions, chemical environments, hydraulic needs and aesthetic requirements.

Accessories include bottom vertical outlet units, catch basins and outlet caps. The accessories are easily custom fit to the channel layout with on-site fabrications, providing maximum flexibility to designer and installer.
