This is the standard installation for new concrete at finish grade.

5. For use in new concrete where space outside frame is tight

 

This detail can be used with pavers as shown although it is a more difficult form up in the field than details #6 or #7. This detail is best used for situations where the frame must butt against an existing structure.

6. Bolt down application for use with unit pavers

 

This is our most popular solution for setting a trench grate into a field of unit pavers particularly when using a sand bed. Standard height is 3 1/4" for use with 60mm paver on a typical sand bed; however, other heights may be specified

7. Cast in place application for use with unit pavers

 

This detail is a cast in place option for frames used with unit pavers on a sand or mortar bed. Also a very popular option, As with DETAIL #6 standard height is 3 1/4" but may be specified.
