Black Cast Iron Trench Drain Basin – Dead Level DX

Trench drain catch basin Revit family featuring a heavy-duty slotted cast iron grate and durable polymer body for drainage coordination. This heavy-duty drainage channel component features a robust U-shaped grey polymer body integrated with a bottom discharge spigot. A heavy cast iron slotted top grate sits securely inside a structural iron frame equipped with side anchoring brackets and alignment tabs. The exterior channel flanks exhibit reinforcing ribbing patterns to ensure mechanical interlocking within surrounding concrete pours. Designed with smooth interior radius transitions to maintain high hydraulic flow efficiency, the unit provides reliable surface water collection and sediment management under vehicular traffic loads.

The download is a 870 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this RFA family directly into Revit MEP and civil coordinate models. Position the drain along exterior slabs, parking aprons, or plant room floors, aligning the top rim to finished surface levels. Pipe connectors enable straightforward routing to stormwater or wastewater gravity lines, while standard MEP parameters facilitate accurate pipe sizing, invert elevation tracking, and clash detection against substructure elements.

Engineered for high-traffic environments, this drain suits industrial facilities, commercial loading bays, parking structures, and exterior civil hardscapes requiring linear stormwater interception. Designers commonly specify trench drains, catch basins, and grated floor channels in transit depots, warehouses, and washdown bays where continuous surface run-off must be captured efficiently before entering subterranean municipal piping or grease separators.
