I've been having a fun ride through the world of trench drain spec sheets over the last few weeks. We need to get an order in on trench drains for our new floor, but I'm having trouble finding a trench drain that has the proper chemical and thermal properties, but doesn't cost me both arms, one leg, and an eye.
Our plumber provided us with a fiberglass composite trench body and an HDPE grate. Alternatively, he said we could go with stainless steel grates. The HDPE made the total cost (drain + body) $45/ft, while the stainless left us at $120/ft.
So my first call for help is whether anyone has any experience with the HDPE drain covers (high density polyethylene)?
My second question is whether anyone has a recommendation for a reliable trench drain body? The chemical spec on the fiberglass composite trench body doesn't look too good either. Check out the last column, for ProPlus GRP. http://www.josam.com/images/josammkt...ChemResist.pdf
I've looked at the NDS dura slope based on a recommendation from other forum users, and it looks like it has pretty decent chemical and thermal specs (see last page of link):
Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks everyone.
