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