White VGBA certified PROGrate pultruded FRP grating for use in VGBA compliant drain systems.

PROGrate I 10-40, I 15-40 and T 10-18 are ideal for fabricating VGBA-compliant drain systems around pools and spas.

An independent test laboratory has tested PROGrate pultruded grating in accordance with ASME A112.19.8.a – 2008, section 3.2 (Ultraviolet Light Exposure), which includes ASTM D256 for izod impact and ASTM D638 for tensile strength after being subjected to accelerated UV weathering.

Completed test results have shown that PROGrate grating has a K factor of 1.1 when calculated from section 3.2.2.3 (Performance Requirements) of the ASME A112.19.8.a – 2008 specification, which is the test method for grating covering pool drains. Bedford grating products are available as stock panels or can be fabricated to size.
