Frame Specifications

E.gif (985 bytes)mbed Frames cast into concrete floors and substructures serve a multitude of purposes that extend the effective life of your completed construction project.  Frames form a permanent shield for concrete lead edges and perimeters which are subject to cracking and chipping when left unprotected.  During construction, these rigid 1/4" (minimum) thick steel frames expedite forming and provide a welded structure that assures accuracy in the concrete pour.  Frames provide a uniform bearing surface for grates or covers, often eliminating rocking or irregular elevations experienced with covers installed on poured concrete.  In specifying Grating Pacific Embed Frames, you are specifying durability, accuracy and economy.  (Nail holes are optional and may further expedite installation.  If desired, size and location should be specified.)

ANCHORS blackdot.gif (807 bytes) GP14embedframes4.gif (604 bytes) blackdot.gif (807 bytes) FINISHES
All frames are provided with 3/8" X 4" headed concrete stud anchors welded within 6 inches of each corner and at a maximum of 24 inches on center.  Alternative anchors sizes and spacings may be designated by the specifying authority. Carbon steel frames are manufactured with either of three standard finishes, bare steel (no finish), prime painted, or hot dip galvanized after fabrication.  Aluminum frames are provided mill finish and can be specified with bituminous coating on surfaces to be cast in concrete.  Stainless steel frames are supplied mill finish and can be specified as abrasive blasted after fabrication to provide a uniform matte finish.

TRENCH GRATING & INLET GRATES GP14embedframes5a.gif (5455 bytes)
The combination of Grating Pacific gratings and embed frames provides the specifier with a wide range of alternatives for drainage applications.  While any of the bar grating products and embed frames included on other pages can be combined for effective solutions, standard trench gratings and inlet sets are illustrated as well.  Look there first for your most economical solution to drainage requirements.
