About This Product

Eliminate standing water on hardscapes before it damages your property. The 3 in. Pro Series Channel Drain is ideal for draining moderate water flows flooding surfaces such as driveways, concrete and paver patios, courtyards, and walkways. Multipack comes with three 3 in. Pro Series Channel Drain Kits, and each kit includes a 4-1/8 in. deep polypropylene channel with bottom outlet, gray polyethylene grate, end cap/outlet, end cap. Modular design with interlocking joints for easy connections. Channels connect together for longer runs and can be cut to lengths as short as 4 in. using the saw guide found between the rib and stabilizing rib. Channel drains, also called trench drains, are long, narrow drains that collect and convey surface water to drain pipes, which carry the water downstream to discharge with a pop-up emitter, or to percolate into the ground with a dry well or infiltration trench. NDS channel and trench drains are designed for durability, drainage, and performance, and are a proven alternative to traditional concrete drains. Find the best channel drain or trench drain system for your needs with the NDS Channel Drain Selector tool. NDS is the leader in stormwater management solutions, the preferred choice of professionals, and the largest supplier of channel drains in North America. Our commitment is to provide proven products, tools, and expert support to help you get the job done right.

Questions & Answers

Do these need to be installed into concrete or can i cut existing concrete and set in the width of the drain
ByJun 18, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Yes, in a 4" collar of newly poured concrete for a Class "B" load rating, that would be 4" to both sides as well as under the channel and recessed by 1/4" from the top edge of concrete. Details available at www.ndspro.com under the specification section on the homepage

            Can this be used over crushed rock for a French drain? If so how does the water get to the rock to drain away?
            ByOct 22, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            That would not be a typical installation for a channel drain system as it is intended to capture surface water and run to a discharge location via pipe. For this type of application you could use the EZ-Flow product for a French drain alternative

              When installing into a channel cut into patio concrete, how do you finish the edges along the length so it looks neat? Do you cut the channel wider to allow for calk? What width do you cut the channel for the 3 inch product?

              Answer This Question

              Hi SAda, if you plan to saw cut the concrete and drop the 3" Pro Series channel into place, please note that the channel features rebar clips on either side that will need to be removed, leaving a width of 4-1/16" Once you've cut the concrete and are ready to install the channel, you'll need to add some concrete at the base of the channel to secure it and prevent any movement, shifting, or twisting. After installation, it's also advisable to apply some Sica Flex between the concrete and the channel (seem) to create a good seal. If you have any further questions, you are always welcome to contact us at 800-726-1994

                  BCurrin, if you are using 3" Sch40 it will not work directly to the 3" Pro Series Channel Drain. you will need an adapter part# 3P15 - PVC adapter, 3" Sch40 Hub x S&D Hub. to make the connection.

                    Overall, I was disappointed with the construction of the unit. The wet inner locks as a poor design. Any tension at all on the drain pipe backfilling and it tends to come apart. Typically, when I think drainage, I use corrugated pipe, and this did not fit 3 inch corrugated Overall with the use of some PVC tape to hold the ends together and having to slit the pipe to get it over the outlet and secure it with the tape I guess you get what you get with this thing

                    The Home Depot does not sell pluming compatible with this product. You can buy it, but then you will find out that you can not connect it to your drains in the house. The PVC pipes size that you find are not compatible with the NDS Pro Series 3 in. x 40 in. Plastic Channel Drain Kit with Grate. I suggest to Hope Depot that stop selling this product if will not offer PVC pipes to connect it to the common size drains in USA.

                    This is a very easy to assemble and install drain kit, They are efficient, easy to use and will decrease installation time. They quickly remove water from hardscapes as perimeter drains and direct it away from building structures or any other area requiring surface drainage. It just sucks up the water and drains if you have the proper slope for the drainage pipes.

                    Beware of Side Drain!
                    I went to HD to purchase a cube style yard drain sump. When I saw this, I figured it would work without having to dig a deep hole (we have lots of limestone in Central Texas). So I went with it. The first problem is what pipe to connect to it. The side outlet plate has a sealed over 2 ½ OD (approx) male nipple labeled “knock out”. No coupling, pipe or adapter fits over it. My best guess was to remove the knock out and insert a 2” coupling. The problem would be that there would be no mechanical or friction seal. Once home I tried to remove the knock out. It does not knock out. It can't be cut out with a razor knife. So, I used a rotary cutting tool to grind out the end, then finished it off with a drum sanding bit. I was able to get a snug fit, but there was no structural support. Finally, using pop rivets and silicone, the pvc coupling was secured and water tight. The second problem is that there in no way to positively attach the side drain plate. The material is polypropylene so PVC adhesive will stick it together but not structurally. Also you have to cut off two posts off one of the grills. Not a big deal, but the end plate could have had holes drill ed to accept these posts. After completing the site prep and dirt work, I installed using a decomposed granite base and a topping of Quickrete. The end cap problem is now a non-issue as everything is encapsulated. Would I recommend the product? Yes, but only if you can handle handyman fabrication work. This is not for for someone that does not own a die grinder or drill press!

                    I had to cut it for a sidewalk but that’s worked fine. Looks very good and is plenty strong enough. Maybe a little expensive but you get quality and strength.
