PC-DRAIN / PC-DRAIN HD
Two-Part Prefabricated Drain Filter

Product Description Features
PC-Drain and PC-Drain HD are two-part prefabricated
geocomposite drains consisting of a formed polystyrene core • Excellent Compressive Strength
covered on one side with polypropylene filter fabric. The fabric • High Puncture Resistance
allows water to pass into the drain core while restricting the • Relieves Hydrostatic Pressure
movement of soil particles which might clog the core. The
core allows the water to flow to designated drainage exits. • Superior Water Flow to Drain
PC-Drain is designed for vertical applications and may be
used for horizontal planters and underslab. PC-Drain HD is
designed for horizontal applications. PC-Drain and PC-Drain Typical Uses
HD with ½” height can move more drainage water per foot • Elevated Pool Deck Cavities
width than a layer of stone which is 1’ wide and 180” high.
• For Use with AQUASEAL 5000 Series
Color • For Use with PC IM 129
Black • Planters
Vertical Installation • Plaza Decks
Measure wall height or lift, adding sufficient material for • Split Slabs
overlapping pipe detail. Unroll PC Drain and cut to length.
Peel back fabric from drainage core and remove 4” of
core. (Drain core should remain 2-3 inches below backfill.) Packaging
Glue fabric to wall or tuck fabric under core when using a
termination bar. Glue adjacent panels at the vertical joints, 1 roll (4’ft X 50’ ft)
making sure that fabric overlaps to prevent soil intrusion
when backfilling. At drain, peel back fabric from drainage
and cut to fit. Tuck excess fabric under core, making sure
inner core has direct contact with drain. Backfill as soon as
possible.
Horizontal Installation
Clean horizontal surface of loose debris and unroll PC Drain,
fabric side up, in the direction of maximum slope. Secure
PC Drain to the surface with double-sided tape, adhesive
or spray glue that are compatible with polyurethane
waterproofing membranes. For overlaps, place adjacent
panels so that the cores abut. Secure the fabric overlap at
five foot intervals with double-sided tape, adhesive or spray
glue. Join roll ends by peeling back fabric and removing 4”
of core. Place end panels so that cores but, then glue, tape
or nail fabric overlap.
