Radius Considerations

Oblio 5″ radiused trench in cast bronze.

Iron Age can create custom cast trench grates in any design, on any radius you specify. Please keep in mind, however, that most custom work—such as grates on a radius—will require a new pattern for the casting which can run upwards of several thousand dollars.

To help you avoid pattern charges for your project, we’ve put together a list of our radius trench grates, organized by radius and width.  Take a look to see if we already have an existing pattern in our inventory that will work for you. If not, contact us and we will provide a quote for custom radius trench grates in your specified width, radius and arc length.

Radius Considerations and Calculations

Planning a radius trench project can be challenging. We can provide assistance with design, sizing, frame selection and layout concerns, but first we need to know (and you need to consider) the following:

Example of radius embedment frame

Radius Frames

Custom grates require frames. Frames are made from angle bar, and when bolted or “wet set” into the top edge of the drain hole, they act as a shelf or bearing surface for the grate to sit on.

Iron Age frames are all made to order, and can accommodate many types of installation scenarios, Frame types include “embedment” for use with new concrete; “stand-off” for use with a variety of paver options; and “retro” for use with existing slabs. Please take a look at the “Frame Types” below. If you have questions, see “Frames” in our “FAQ’s” under the RESOURCES tab, or contact us. We can help you determine which frame type(s) will work best for your particular installation.
