  • Patent number: 6027283
    Abstract: An end cap for a drainage system comprises a wall element having substantially the same profile as the cross-section of the end of the trench drain channel section. The wall element is adapted to be coupled to the trench drain channel section to form a terminal end of the channel section. At least one transverse groove is provided in the channel section so that, when the end cap is separated at the groove, the height of the end cap corresponds to the depth of the channel section. Typically, a plurality of transverse grooves are provided at spaced intervals along the vertical height of the wall element which correspond to different possible depths of the channel section. Thus, the end cap may be adapted to fit any one of a number of channel sections, regardless of depth. The end cap may further comprise a pipe coupler integrally molded with the wall element such that the wall element and coupler are substantially continuous.
