Description
24” x 24” Heavy Duty Catch Basin Frame & Grate with Square Holes – Class C Cast Iron
The 24” x 24” Heavy Duty Catch Basin Frame & Grate with Square Holes is engineered for high-volume stormwater collection and long-term drainage system performance in municipal infrastructure, commercial developments, transportation corridors, industrial facilities, and public works projects. Manufactured from heavy-duty cast iron and designed for Class C service conditions, this drainage assembly provides the structural reliability, hydraulic efficiency, and durability required for demanding stormwater management applications.
Featuring a square hole grate configuration, this catch basin assembly is designed to maximize surface water interception while supporting efficient runoff conveyance into underground drainage networks. The open-grid square hole pattern provides excellent intake characteristics across the grate surface, helping facilitate rapid water collection during storm events while maintaining the structural integrity required for municipal and commercial infrastructure environments.
The larger 24” x 24” grate footprint delivers expanded drainage capacity, making this assembly particularly effective in areas exposed to substantial runoff volumes, larger drainage basins, and broad paved surfaces. Whether installed within roadway drainage systems, parking facilities, industrial properties, utility corridors, or public infrastructure projects, this drainage assembly is designed to support consistent hydraulic performance while helping protect surrounding infrastructure from standing water and surface deterioration.
Its cast iron construction offers exceptional compressive strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to environmental wear. Designed to perform under varying weather conditions, repeated loading cycles, and long-term field exposure, this heavy-duty catch basin frame and grate provides dependable performance throughout the service life of the drainage system.
Commonly specified by municipalities, civil engineers, transportation agencies, contractors, developers, and public works departments, this specification-ready drainage casting is designed to support modern stormwater management objectives while delivering proven infrastructure performance.

Optimized for High-Capacity Drainage Performance
Stormwater infrastructure systems rely on drainage components capable of managing substantial runoff volumes while maintaining dependable structural performance. Catch basin grates serve as the primary collection point for surface water, helping direct runoff into underground conveyance systems that protect roads, parking areas, walkways, and developed properties.
The square hole grate configuration is engineered to provide excellent hydraulic intake characteristics while maintaining the strength required for demanding infrastructure applications. The open-grid design allows water to enter efficiently across the grate surface, helping support drainage system performance during routine rainfall events and higher-intensity storm conditions.
Combined with the durability and proven performance of cast iron construction, the 24” x 24” Heavy Duty Catch Basin Frame & Grate with Square Holes delivers a long-term drainage solution for municipalities and project owners seeking reliable stormwater management infrastructure.
