Introducing Zip-Trench® Polypropylene Trench Drain

Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co. has introduced the newest product in their line of Trench Drain Systems, the Zip-Trench.

A 12" wide polypropylene trench drain with a high storage capacity, Zip-Trench^® offers a less expensive, labor-saving alternative to cast-in-place trench drains. The pre-assembled 9'10" length of the channels and built-in rebar anchors make installation fast and simple. The polypropylene material is lightweight, recyclable, break-resistant, and offers better chemical resistance than polyethylene. It can handle temperatures of 180 degrees.

Zip-Trench comes with a choice of coated steel, galvanized steel, or stainless steel frame, which is directly supported by the surrounding concrete when installed, offering added stability. Each rail has alignment clips that keep your trench drain installation straighter.

Four grate choices are available, with Class C and Class E load rating options. Grates are not required during the installation, and the grates remain coplaned during the pour.

Applications for Zip-Trench include parking garages, driveways, gas stations, fire stations, breweries, and other industrial or commercial locations where there is a high quantity of water being used or where it is desirable to drain wastewater with chemicals that need to be kept out of the sanitary drains.
