ACO FG200 FlowDrain: A Practical Guide to Lightweight, Heavy-Duty Trench Drain Performance

The ACO FlowDrain FG200 combines a lightweight fiberglass channel with a reinforced steel frame to deliver durable, corrosion-resistant drainage for commercial and industrial sites. This guide covers specs, applications, selection tips, installation steps, and a field-tested case study.

Why Choose the ACO FG200 FlowDrain?

Technical: FG200 pairs a fiberglass trench channel with a galvanized or stainless steel frame, balancing weight savings with structural performance and corrosion resistance. Supplied as sloped modular units, it speeds layout and installation accuracy.

Plain English: It’s strong but light, resists rust and chemicals, and the pre-sloped modules make jobs faster and neater.

  • Light-to-Heavy Duty: Handles EN 1433 Class C to Class E loads for versatility across sites.
  • Durable Build: Fiberglass channel + galvanized or stainless frame for long-term reliability and low maintenance.
  • Efficient & Modular: Sloped units, bolted grates, and installation brackets support quick, accurate placement and secure service.

Best-Fit Applications

Choose FG200 when you need corrosion resistance, strength, and a faster install footprint:

Site Type Why FG200 Works
Distribution centers & loading aprons Class C–E performance with secure bolted grates; modular slope reduces on-site layout time.
Parking structures & podium decks Lightweight fiberglass simplifies handling in tight spaces; corrosion resistance extends service life.
Food & chemical facilities Materials resist common cleaners and chemicals; stainless frame option for aggressive environments.
Airports & municipal sites Reliable performance with bracketed placement for accuracy; durable under mixed traffic.

Grate & Frame Options

  • Frames: Galvanized steel (cost-effective) or stainless steel (maximum corrosion resistance).
  • Grates: Bolted for security; select slotted, perforated/heel-proof, or ductile-iron styles by duty and safety.

Design & Selection Tips

Technical: Match load class (C–E) to traffic, check peak flow and hydraulic grade line (HGL), and coordinate frame material with exposure (de-icers, CIP cleaning, coastal environments). Use installation brackets to hold line and grade during pour.

Plain English: Pick the frame and grate for how corrosive and busy the area is, make sure the trench can carry storm peaks, and use the included brackets so the channels stay straight while the concrete cures.

Quick Spec Checklist

  • Channel: Fiberglass, sloped modular units for efficient hydraulics and faster layout.
  • Frame: Galvanized or stainless steel for durability in varied environments.
  • Loads: Class C–E for light to heavy duty applications.
  • Security: Bolted grates to deter theft and movement; choose heel-proof where needed.
  • Install aids: Brackets for accurate, repeatable placement at grade.

Installation Checklist (Step-by-Step)

  1. Layout & slope: Verify start/finish elevations for the pre-sloped run; dry-fit modules in sequence.
  2. Subgrade & base: Prepare stable subbase; place bedding per spec to support channel walls.
  3. Bracket & set: Use installation brackets to hold alignment and rail elevation.
  4. Join & seal: Follow manufacturer joints/sealant; install end caps and outlets.
  5. Backfill & pour: Concrete haunch to frame; lightly vibrate to avoid voids.
  6. Grates: Install and bolt; confirm torque and fit.
  7. QA test: Water test; confirm positive flow and debris clearance.

Case Study: Ohio Municipal Airport Apron Drainage Upgrade

Challenge: An airport apron in Ohio experienced ponding near hangar doors after de-icing events. The area required corrosion resistance, accurate slopes, and minimal downtime.

Solution: The team selected ACO FG200 FlowDrain with stainless steel frames and bolted heel-proof grates. Pre-sloped fiberglass modules and installation brackets accelerated placement with minimal rework.

Outcome: The apron now drains rapidly after storms and wash-downs. Maintenance reports note clean hydraulic performance and zero grate migration. The lightweight modules improved installation speed around active operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is fiberglass strong enough for heavy traffic?

Yes. The FG200’s fiberglass channel is paired with a reinforced steel frame. With the right grate and frame, the system supports Class C–E loads suitable for mixed commercial traffic.

When should I choose stainless over galvanized?

Use stainless for aggressive environments—frequent chemical cleaning, coastal exposure, or heavy de-icer use. Galvanized is a durable, cost-effective option for general duty.

Do the sloped modules complicate layout?

No. Pre-sloped modules streamline layout. The included installation brackets help maintain line and grade, reducing rework and pour time.
