NDS Grates

Types of NDS Drain Grates

NDS offers a range of grates designed to meet specific drainage needs across residential, commercial and landscaping applications. Each type of grate serves a unique purpose and is built to perform in its environment.

Atrium Grates are dome-shaped to allow water to flow in even when surrounded by mulch, leaves or debris, making them ideal for yard drainage, garden beds and turf areas. They are commonly made from plastic or polyethylene and come in diameters ranging from 6" to 18".

Channel Grates are designed to cover trench or channel drains, making them perfect for driveways, patios and walkways where surface runoff needs to be managed efficiently. They’re available in durable materials like polypropylene, HDPE and cast iron for heavy-load applications. Styles include slotted, perforated and decorative patterns to match both function and aesthetic needs.

Catch Basin Grates are square or rectangular and fit securely over catch basins to manage large volumes of water, particularly in backyard drainage systems or low points in a landscape. Options range from light-duty plastic to heavy-duty cast iron, depending on load requirements.

Pop-Up Emitters serve as the final water discharge point in a drainage system. These 3" to 4" emitter heads open with water pressure and close afterward, preventing clogs from dirt and debris.

Materials and Load Ratings for Every Application

NDS grates come in a variety of materials to suit different strength and application needs. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is lightweight, UV-resistant and ideal for residential landscaping or yard drainage. Polypropylene is slightly more rigid and durable, making it a solid choice for walkways, patios and light-duty areas. For heavy-load applications, cast iron grates offer unmatched strength, perfect for driveways, commercial properties or areas with vehicular traffic.

NDS also categorizes grates by load class, from light duty to medium duty and heavy duty, ensuring the right fit for every project.
