**Please note: DECK-O-DRAIN is intended for new pool construction only**
DECK-O-DRAIN is a combined drainage and joint system designed to move water away from concrete pool decks, patios, and similar flatwork. Made from durable, non-corrosive PVC, it helps channel water off the surface while fitting cleanly along deck edges and walls. Its non-directional design eliminates the need for separate right- or left-hand fittings, simplifying layout and reducing installation complexity.
The system is built for straightforward installation, requiring minimal excavation and allowing it to double as a screed rail during concrete placement. With a center channel for improved flow and a profile designed for tight wall integration, DECK-O-DRAIN offers a practical solution for managing surface water while supporting typical concrete jointing practices in exterior slab construction.

DECK-O-DRAIN®
Easy-to-Install Drainage System
DESCRIPTION
DECK-O-DRAIN drainage system provides an effective drainage system for concrete pool decks. Wherever specified, the system effectively collects and carries water away quickly from pool decks and other patio areas. Made of tough, long lasting PVC, the DECK-O-DRAIN system resists wear and is non-corrosive. Both the deck and subgrade receive watertight protection.
The unique non-directional design of DECK-O-DRAIN eliminates the need for right or left fittings. One attachment can be used for both by simply facing it in the direction needed. A flat contour profile allows a tight fit against any wall.
DECK-O-DRAIN drainage system installs easily. There are no trenches to dig or deep excavations to make. DECK-O-DRAIN can be used as a screed rail in final flatwork preparation.
USES
The product is ideal for use on pool decks, driveways, patios, etc. – anywhere water collects and needs to be carried away.
COLORS

STEP THREE – Attach snap-on nailing clips and couplers.
STEP FOUR – Position the drain over the stakes. Align and nail to the stakes.

PRODUCT ACCESSORIES

Concrete expands and contracts with temperature and moisture changes. As the temperature rises or the moisture content of the concrete increases, expansion takes place. As the temperature drops, the concrete will contract. The provision to accommodate movement at predetermined locations with proper joint applications prevents the development of stresses that could rupture the concrete. Refer to our Control Joints #320 data sheet for a full listing of expansion joint products to protect pool decks from this movement. Consult with a structural engineer for proper placement.
