HIDE DRAIN COVER FLOW RATE GUIDE

Improve your design aesthetics with HIDE exterior drain cover solutions. Effortless elegance enhancing your hardscape.

Flow Rate Guide - Technical Explanation:

Disclaimer: The flow rate through a slot drain is influenced by the slot’s cross-sectional area and the hydraulic conditions, including the slope and roughness of the channel. In this estimation, we utilised standard flow rates for a known slot width and adjusted proportionally based on the given slot dimensions. For precise flow rate determination, it’s recommended to perform detailed hydraulic calculations that consider site-specific parameters or to consult with a drainage engineer.

The following Flow Rates are calculated and can be downloaded below:

  • 214mm Square Drain Cover
  • 314mm Square Drain Cover
  • 342mm Square Drain Cover Flow Rate
  • 656mm Square Drain Cover Flow Rate
  • 1000mm Concrete Linear Drain Cover Flow Rate
  • 1210mm Tile Linear Drain Cover Flow Rate

Note: HIDE Drain Covers may complement Everhard or Reln pits and channels, which are not part of the HIDE Kit and are not included.
