!

Read this Manual BEFORE using this equipment.
Failure to read and follow all safety and use information 

can result in death, serious personal injury, property 

damage, or damage to the equipment.
Keep this Manual for future reference.

General Note: Please DO NOT separate channels from frames.

Channel and frame sections arrive to the jobsite preassembled in a specific
sequence to meet your project design requirements. They are not interchangeable
between sections and separating and reassembling them may cause installation
errors. If they accidentally become separated, please contact your Watts representative for technical 
support with any questions.

If you cannot find your installation diagram contact your Watts 

     

representative for another copy.

2. Excavation

   2.1   Excavate to allow a minimum 4" concrete pour below, and on both sides of
      the trench drain and below a catch basin, if used.
