Description
24” x 24” ADA Catch Basin Frame & Grate – Class C Cast Iron
The 24” x 24” ADA Catch Basin Frame & Grate is engineered to provide accessible stormwater collection and reliable drainage performance in high-traffic pedestrian environments where public safety, mobility compliance, and long-term infrastructure durability are critical design considerations. Manufactured from heavy-duty cast iron and designed for Class C service conditions, this drainage assembly combines accessibility-conscious grate geometry with the structural integrity required for municipal, commercial, and institutional infrastructure projects.
Designed with an ADA-compliant grate pattern, this catch basin assembly helps facilitate the safe movement of pedestrians, wheelchairs, mobility devices, strollers, and bicycles while maintaining efficient hydraulic intake characteristics. The grate configuration is engineered to support stormwater interception and runoff conveyance without compromising accessibility requirements commonly specified in sidewalks, public plazas, transportation facilities, urban redevelopment projects, and streetscape improvements.
The larger 24” x 24” footprint provides increased surface collection capacity, making this assembly particularly effective in locations where larger drainage areas, increased runoff volumes, or concentrated pedestrian traffic are present. By combining enhanced drainage capacity with accessibility-focused design, this catch basin frame and grate serves as a critical component within modern stormwater management systems.
Its heavy-duty cast iron construction delivers exceptional compressive strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to environmental deterioration. Designed to withstand repeated loading cycles, seasonal weather fluctuations, freeze-thaw conditions, and long-term exposure to public use environments, this drainage assembly provides dependable field performance throughout the service life of the infrastructure system.
Engineers, municipalities, landscape architects, transportation agencies, contractors, developers, and public works departments routinely specify ADA-compliant drainage castings when project requirements demand accessibility, durability, and reliable stormwater management performance within a single drainage solution.

Engineered for Accessible Stormwater Infrastructure
Modern infrastructure projects require drainage components capable of balancing hydraulic performance with accessibility requirements. ADA-compliant catch basin grates are designed to support this objective by incorporating grate openings that help facilitate pedestrian mobility while maintaining effective stormwater collection capabilities.
The 24” x 24” ADA Catch Basin Frame & Grate is engineered to provide enhanced drainage coverage while helping maintain accessibility throughout public-use environments. Its larger drainage footprint allows for efficient runoff capture across wider collection areas, making it particularly valuable in urban environments where stormwater management and pedestrian circulation must function together.
Cast iron continues to be one of the most trusted materials for drainage infrastructure because of its exceptional durability, structural rigidity, and proven service life. When integrated into municipal drainage systems, ADA-compliant cast iron grates provide reliable performance while helping infrastructure owners meet accessibility objectives and long-term asset management goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does an ADA catch basin grate support accessibility?
ADA-compliant drainage grates are designed with grate openings intended to improve pedestrian mobility and help accommodate wheelchairs, mobility devices, strollers, bicycles, and public foot traffic in accessible environments.
Why would a project specify a 24” x 24” drainage grate instead of a smaller size?
A larger grate assembly provides greater surface collection capacity, making it well suited for areas experiencing higher runoff volumes, broader drainage zones, or increased pedestrian activity.
What types of projects commonly require ADA-compliant drainage products?
ADA drainage grates are frequently specified for sidewalks, streetscape projects, public plazas, transit facilities, commercial developments, institutional campuses, parks, and municipal infrastructure improvements.
What makes cast iron an effective material for drainage infrastructure?
Cast iron offers outstanding durability, compressive strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to long-term environmental exposure, making it ideal for demanding public infrastructure applications.
What does a Class C rating indicate?
Class C drainage products are designed for municipal and commercial environments requiring dependable structural performance and reliable stormwater management capabilities.
