5Assemble the drain outlet
nAssemble the drain outlet with a DS-224 End Cap, drill out
the channel bottom outlet, and install a DS-126 bottom
outlet adapter (if necessary), or
nAssemble an End Outlet DS-227, or
nAssemble a Catch Basin DS-340.
nUse End Cap DS-224 at the shallowest end of the run.
nSet a string line in the trench along each side of where the
channel will be placed, at final elevation of channel. If using
ductile iron frame, place string line 1" below finished grade
to accommodate the frame.
Note: Bottom outlets, drain outlets, and catch
basins connect to the deepest end of the run.
4Lo ate the expansion joints
Plan to install expansion joints parallel and perpendicular to channel
according to plan specification.
Note: ocate perpendicular expansion joints crossing the
channel at the channel joints (if possible).

Note: If using Ductile Iron Frames skip to Step 6A.
The outlet will be at the deepest end. Assemble the channel section
from the deepest to the shallowest.
nRemove the screws from the end of the Blank Grate Insert located
on the male side of the channel (do not remove the center screws
from the insert). Start at the drain outlet.
nPlace a bead of butyl caulking or silicone sealant in the channel’s
