ZipperDrain^Ž Installation Instructions

1. Excavate for trench to 20" depth from top of grate elevation.
2. Compact to 95% Proctor Density.
3. Determine location of trench drain. Mark end and each 6-foot joint location.
4. At each joint & end, hand dig and place a flat 4" x 8" x 16" solid concrete block, with top of block level with bottom of excavation.
5. Compact again, over each block.
6. Set end ZipperDrainŽ unit, with joint centered over block.
7. Insert two ž" pins in ZipperDrainŽ joint and place next unit. Continue until last unit is installed.
