Inlet Grates & Frames
Complementing our trench grating systems, Grating Pacific Inlet Gratings and Frames provide the specifier with flexible solutions to inlet drain requirements. Similar to our trench grating products, Standard Duty pedestrian grates and Heavy Duty vehicular grates as illustrated on our
Trench Grating Systems page are readily available. Inlets may be specified to any clear opening by simply indicating the desired "W" (width) and "S" (span) dimensions illustrated below. Any of the five embed frame profiles illustrated on the
Embed Frames section of this website may be specified to meet the exact needs of your application. Bolting the grates to the frames is optional and must be specified.
While all gratings are manufactured with plain walking surface, the optional serrated surface may be specified. The ends of all inlet gratings are trench banded to enhance durability and allow for
maximum drainage. Unless otherwise specified, all inlet grates and
frames are hot dip galvanized in accordance with ASTM specification A-123.
HOW TO SPECIFY
Inlet grates and frames are specified by component model numbers. Simply
follow the sample specification below.
STANDARD INLET SET
Standard Inlet Sets, listed in tabular form on the sub page (click on
Inlet Sets on the navigation bar to the left), consist of our E-Z pour frames with either of two popular series of grating. Standard Duty type "S" grates are selected for pedestrian applications and type "H" Heavy Duty grates are selected for vehicular load applications. All popular sizes of these Inlet Sets are commonly available from our stock inventory.
