Abstract
A downspout-to-curb drain assembly includes a downspout boot defining an interior channel terminating in a downspout boot outlet, a trench drain assembly in fluid communication at a first end thereof with the downspout boot interior channel and outlet, and a curb opening defining an interior channel in fluid communication with the trench drain assembly at a second end thereof. Advantageously, the downspout boot outlet, trench drain assembly, and curb opening transport water runoff below grade.
Claims23
A downspout-to-curb drain assembly, comprising:
- a downspout boot defining an interior channel terminating in a downspout boot outlet;
- a trench drain assembly in fluid communication at a first end thereof with the downspout boot interior channel and outlet;
- and
- a curb opening defining an interior channel in fluid communication with the trench drain assembly at a second end thereof;
- wherein the downspout boot outlet, trench drain assembly, and curb opening transport water runoff below grade to discharge water onto an above grade surface.
A downspout-to-curb drain assembly, comprising:
- a downspout boot defining an interior channel terminating in a downspout boot outlet;
- a trench drain assembly in fluid communication at a first end thereof with the downspout boot interior channel and outlet;
- and
- a curb opening defining an interior channel and in fluid communication with the trench drain assembly at a second end thereof;
- wherein the trench drain assembly comprises:
