Shopping List for How to Install a Channel Drain:
- 4-inch channel drain [amzn.to/2ZTvUCk], to collect excess water
- End cap [amzn.to/2WghCty] and offset outlet [amzn.to/2vHZ3mt], for attachment to channel drain
- 4-inch-diameter plastic drainpipe and assorted fittings [amzn.to/2WmspSO], to carry water away from channel drain
- PVC primer [amzn.to/2GQcbe7] and cement [amzn.to/2vxt6x3] , for gluing together plastic pipe and fittings
- Ready-mix concrete [amzn.to/2VaSVSS], to form a setting bed for the drain
- Asphalt cold patch [amzn.to/2UVfzJP], for patching the driveway
- Grass seed [amzn.to/2GWhPN4], to plant along trench line
Tools List for How to Install a Channel Drain:
- 4-foot level [amzn.to/2GYiBJC], to mark cutlines
- Water-cooled circular saw [amzn.to/2VF1B3c] with a diamond blade [amzn.to/2PGRiGu], for cutting asphalt driveway
- Shovel [amzn.to/2PHDDPk]
- Wheelbarrow [amzn.to/2Jhr1xn]
- Small sledgehammer [amzn.to/2PElXE8] and brick-set chisel [amzn.to/2ZQE0M2], to chop out rocks
- Pointed brick trowel [amzn.to/2Liqg9E], for smoothing concrete
- Rubber mallet [amzn.to/2LiPNzO], to tap down the drain
- Reciprocating saw [amzn.to/2Y212ho], for cutting plastic pipe
Steps for How to Install a Channel Drain:
1. Mark a straight cutline across the corner of the driveway to indicate the position of the channel drain.
2. Cut through the asphalt with a water-cooled circular saw fitted with a diamond-impregnated blade.
3. Pry up and remove the severed piece of asphalt with a shovel.
4. Use a small sledgehammer and brick-set chisel to chop out any rocks along the edge of the just-cut driveway.
5. Dig a 6-inch-deep trench along the end of the driveway. Shovel the excavated dirt into a wheelbarrow.
6. Glue an offset outlet and a 90-degree elbow onto one end of the channel drain.
7. Glue a short section of 4-inch-diameter plastic pipe and a 45-degree elbow onto the 90-degree elbow.
8. Glue an end cap onto the opposite end of the channel drain.
9. Mix up a bag of concrete in the wheelbarrow.
10. Fill the trench with wet concrete. Smooth the concrete with a pointed brick trowel.
11. Press the channel drain down into the concrete, then check it with a level to ensure it's sloping slightly toward the drainpipe. Tap down the drain with a rubber mallet.
12. Use the trowel to spread an angled wedge of concrete against the back of the drain.
13. Dig a 12-inch-deep trench out from the channel drain and across the yard.
14. Use a reciprocating saw to cut plastic pipe to extend from the drain along the trench. Glue the pipe and fittings together.
15. Check the drainpipe with a level to make sure it's pitched down and away from the driveway.
16. Backfill the trench with soil to conceal the drainpipe.
17. Line the end of the drainpipe with flat stones to deter erosion.
18. Sprinkle some asphalt cold patch between the channel drain and the driveway.
19. Compact the patch with the small sledgehammer, then add more asphalt and compact it again. Repeat until the patch is flush with the surface of the driveway.
20. Plant grass seed along the backfilled trench.

Thought the same thing. Could have routed that down the side of the drive or cut the drive to get it to the street. Judging by the rut it cut, that's going to be a lot of water entering the neighbors property.

Two suggestions for this project: 1) Cover the grate of your channel drain while you’re working to prevent cement/asphalt from getting in. 2) Place a termination vent cap at the end of your PVC to keep rodents out. Great video!

Nice drain install. One comment: I used to be a paving contractor and my comments are based on experience. Do not ever use a bag of that cold mix asphalt. It is absolute garbage. Cold mix is designed for one thing and one thing only, not matter what you’ve seen or heard. Cold mix is designed as a temporary material to fill potholes in wet climates during wet weather. It is not made for what he just did. When the weather warms up and drys out, the cold mix is removed and a proper hot mix repair is made. Asphalt cement is a solid when cold (the black part of the pavement). Asphalt streets, parking lots and driveways all use Hot Mix asphalt. When asphalt cement is hot, it is fluid like and the pavement can be raked smooth then compacted with rollers. When hot mix asphalt cools, it becomes hard and you can drive on it in a short period of time. Cold mix asphalt uses a solvent to make it pliable while cold. It does not compact well and takes a year or two to fully cure. The solvent has to evaporate away. When it does you’re left with terrible partially compacted pavement that water will flow through. I’ve installed many of those exact drain systems. Cutting the asphalt first like he did was perfect. To finish this install, he should have just used the concrete. I can’t figure out why he didn’t. 2” to 4” of a concrete border on both sides of the drain box supports the drain better and water will terminate into the drain better than even hot mix asphalt could perform.

The connector end (bell end as he called it) of the pipe should've faced the other way (connected the the pipe off of the 90 at the drain). That way trash won't get stuck at the connecting joints. Also a screen cap at the very end to keep critters from crawling in. Now his neighbor below him needs a rowboat.

There was no "go out past the drop edge to avoid important roots" stuff, because the edge of one tree's drip line is another tree's drip line. That, an I could've thrown a couple hundred pots with all the clay out there. The things we do to save a couple bucks.

As a Polydrain trench drain sales engineer, I recommend a concrete shoe to lock the trench drain in place. Plumbing engineers insist that the bell end face the water source & the spigot face downstream. Precast trench drain inverts this preferred configuration. However, in this application it should suffice.

Put the last pipe in backwards. Higher(uphill) pipes should progress downslope with the male end at the bottom, essentially pouring into the and being accepted by the female part of the next pipe in the series and so on. Doing it the way Roger does it here forces the water to flow over the lip of the pipe below it and creates the possibility for damming of sediment and potential failure of that connection over time from either frost heave(because the pipe is clogged due to that sediment dam the backwards connection creates in side the pipe), or from adhesive failure because water is allowed to flow directly into the glued joint, which is facing uphill when it should be facing downhill.

The people that were commenting about the glue and the primer getting mixed up are not familiar with the different types of glue. The cleaner is clear and there is a type of glue that is BLUE that is made for drainage.

A few comments: a screen on the end will collect debri and clog the pipe, best to leave it open. Tape the top grate with duct tape to keep debri out when back filling. They should have done a straight run. Less chance of debri getting stuck at the 45's. They could use a 2x4 end to compact the cold ash fault.

This system spilts the total amount of water, not all the water goes down the drain; and his house is on a slope. During severe rain the water would flow downhill into his neighbors yard either way...

I'm not a professional, but I know cold patch isn't exactly water tight. Wouldn't most of the water seep thru the cold patch? I would filled that gap between the drain and driveway with the left over concrete and smoothed it out.
@KipdoesStuff
@KipdoesStuff 5 лет назад
As mentioned at the beginning of the video, water flows through there pretty fast so it shouldn't effect the clod patch too much and if it does, you just use more cold patch, easy fix.

James Brown why didn’t he just butt the drain tray up to the concrete ??
@7viewerlogic670
@7viewerlogic670 5 лет назад
Maybe that area of cold patch slows the water down so it doesn't launch right over the drain.

I would definitely put a frog flap or similar on the end of the outlet to remove the chance of rats or other rodents getting in. As pointed out it would appear that he has joined the pipe the incorrect way. Overall though a good solution as long as he is permitted to drain off into that area. Check your local government regulations before you do this at your own place

How do you deal with silt building up in the drain? I have a ditch lined with used metal roofing roof cap so no silt drains in along the route, but silt comes from the entry ditch I dug to channel watering runoff from my keyhole garden with a soaker hose - as well as heavy snowfall runoff that lasts months.

Excellent channel. Congratulations. I see you from México. A suggestion: would be useful to put subtitles in Spanish because many people in Mexico see your channel. Sometimes some technical words in English or some expressions are hard to understand. I’m sure if you put subtitles, many people in Latin America will follow the channel. Thanks.

dont put the 45 on right away with glue, if your angle is off by a little on the 45 the long straight pipe will be raised a few inches at the very end causing pipe to lift on shorter straight. dry fit, mark with Sharpie then glue.
