ACO KlassikDrain K1-0103 Neutral Trench Drain Channel - 0.5 Meter

Product Details: ACO KlassikDrain K1-0103 Neutral Trench Drain Channel - 0.5 Meter

The ACO KlassikDrain K100 neutral channel — listed as a "constant depth channel" in ACO's product literature — is the zero-slope member of the K100 trench drain line. Each section is molded from high-strength polyester polymer concrete with a galvanized steel edge rail cast integrally into the rim, and it holds the same invert depth from end to end: the female invert equals the male invert, so the channel conveys water without adding fall. Neutral sections are used to extend a K100 run beyond the 131'-3" (40 m) of continuous slope the sloped series provides, while the half-meter versions let installers fine-tune run length. The family spans five constant invert depths, from 3.94" (100 mm) to 11.81" (300 mm), in 39.37" (1 m) sections plus 19.69" (0.5 m) sections at the four deeper inverts — all sharing the K100's 4" (100 mm) nominal clear opening and the full range of K100/KS100 grates.

The K1-0103 is the half-meter (19.69") neutral section at the 5.91" (150 mm) constant invert depth — the trailing "3" in the catalog code denotes the half-meter version. Cast as ACO part number 74044, it holds the same 5.91" invert at both the female and male ends, so it is depth-matched to the 5.91" (150 mm) invert band and lets installers extend a K100 run — or fine-tune its overall length — without adding fall. A bottom knockout accepts a 4" round or 6" oval outlet connection; the galvanized steel edge rail accepts the shared K100/KS100 grate range: QuickLok grates use K1 locking bar part 02899, while DrainLok grates require no locking bar.

Quick Look

• Neutral (zero-slope) constant-depth channel section: the female invert equals the male invert, extending run lengths beyond the 131'-3" (40 m) the sloped K100 series provides
• Internal Width: 4" (100 mm) nominal clear opening; Overall Width: 5.12" (130 mm)
• Material: High-Strength Polyester Polymer Concrete — minimum 14,000 psi compressive strength, 4,000 psi flexural strength, 0.07% water absorption; frost proof, salt proof, and resistant to dilute acids and alkalis
• Galvanized steel edge rail integrally cast in by the manufacturer, at least 3/32" (2.5 mm) thick
• Wall thickness at least 0.50" (13 mm)
• Partial-radius trench bottom with a male-to-female interconnecting end profile; horizontal cast-in anchoring keys on the outside wall bond the channel to the bedding and pavement
• Bottom knockout for a 4" round or 6" oval outlet connection
• Overall channel depth equals the invert depth plus 0.8" (20 mm)
• Connection to Grating: QuickLok® boltless grate locking (K1 QuickLok locking bar, part 02899); DrainLok grates require no locking bar
• Grates are shared across K100 and KS100 — one grate part number fits either edge-rail material
• Load Recommendation: Varies on grate selection (up to EN 1433 Load Class E, 134,885 lbs, 2,785 psi — a system rating that depends on the grate fitted)
• Manufactured to EN 1433 standards; guide specification references ASME A112.6.3, Floor and Trench Drains
• After removal of the grates and QuickLok bar there is uninterrupted access to the trench to aid maintenance
• Channel numbering and direction arrows are cast on the sidewalls and base to simplify installation sequencing
• Catalog Code: K1-0103 — the trailing "3" denotes the half-meter unit; ACO Part Number: 74044
• Length: 19.69" (0.5 m) half-meter section, used to fine-tune run length
• Constant Invert Depth: 5.91" (150 mm) — the female invert equals the male invert
• Overall Depth: 6.69" (170 mm), as printed on the ACO half-meter channel drawing
• Depth-matched to the 5.91" (150 mm) invert band: extends a run or fine-tunes its length without adding fall
• Weight: 17.0 lbs
• Pallet Quantity: 64
