Trash Grates

Efficient Single-Component Grates for Litter and Debris Filtration

Description

SVC’s Trash Grates provide an easy-install, single-piece product solution for the effective screening of litter particles and debris.

Typically used as a component inside an orifice pit or stormwater detention system, they are designed to solve the problem of unwanted gross pollutants like rubbish, coarse debris and leaf litter blocking downstream pipes and contaminating waterways.

Constructed from a single folded piece of perforated sheet metal, trash grates can be easily installed onto a pit wall or baffle plate using standard bolts. Maintenance simply involves opening the inlet chamber of an orifice pit to gain access to the trash grate inside, and removing any litter or debris that has collected on the surface of the trash grate.

The ease of installation and simple maintenance steps for SVC’s Trash Grates makes them an ideal solution for stormwater detention or debris screening applications, helping busy civil contractors and maintenance crews drive efficiency in their daily operations.
