Channel Drains

[RRS]

That makes sense.

Mike you need a Hilti for this job.

Important: Set the channel drain to grade as I said above. Place 3/8" rebar every 36" midway on the channel. Drill 3/8" holes horizontally through the channel and place the rebar. When you pour the surface the channel will now be attached to both surfaces on each side of the channel. When the surfaces move in the freeze thaw cycle, the channel will not be pinched when absorbing the movement of the surfaces.

You may need to cut the rebar down to workable sizes pieces.

Ok that makes perfect sense. Other than that am i on target w/ the installation method i described above?

One option:

Cut a channel from the edge of the garage pad back 12” Set 4" drain channel to grade in the middle of the open area. Install 10" x 3/8" rebar as mentioned above. Install expansion joints at each end of the opened area against the edges of existing surfaces. Pour crete on each side of the channel drain to fill remaining open area.

The channel drain is now solid with expansion joints on each side.
