🔧 Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Site Preparation:

   • Clear the installation area of debris.

   • Excavate the trench to the specified width and depth based on the system type (e.g., ACO Slot Drain 100, 200, etc.).

2. Base Setup:

   • Create a compacted gravel or concrete base.

   • Ensure proper slope for water flow (typically 1% gradient).

3. Placing the Drain Channels:

   • Start from the outlet end.

   • Place the channels in line, ensuring the correct order of channel numbers.

   • Connect channels using the male/female ends or coupling systems.

4. Securing the Channels:

   • Pour concrete backfill around the sides and base.

   • Ensure the top of the slot drain is flush with the surface level.

5. Final Steps:

   • Allow concrete to cure fully.

   • Remove protective covers and inspect joints for seal integrity.
