Description
Stays in Place Even When the Grate is Removed
The Ultra-Drain Guard Adjustable Frame Model is designed for maximum convenience and reliability during storm drain protection. Unlike standard inserts that rely on the grate’s weight, this model uses a steel frame to stay securely in place—even when the grate is removed. Perfect for busy work zones and areas where access to the drain is frequent, it ensures uninterrupted sediment control without the need for reinstallation.
Key Features:
- Adjustable Fit – Steel frame quickly resizes to fit almost any storm drain.
- Grate-Independent Stability – Remains securely in place even when the grate is lifted.
- No Trimming Required – No excess fabric means a tidy, flush finish at the surface.
- Reusable Steel Frame – Swap out the filter fabric easily for long-term use.
- Heavy-Duty Fastening – Hook-and-loop system keeps the fabric firmly attached to the frame.
- Clean Installation – Quick to set up, no special tools or measurements required

Product Benefits:
- Prevents accidental filter displacement

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How much water can the Ultra-Drain Guard handle?
When new, the Ultra-Drain Guard has a flow rate of 3469 LPM/m2. However, the unit has been designed with overflow ports.  These allow the Ultra-Drain Guard a flow rate of 2914 litres per minute which will prevent any flooding or ponding during extreme rain events.  Any water that goes through the overflow is essentially untreated.
2. Does this product work with synthetic oils?
Yes, the needle-punched material used, can absorb synthetic oils.
3. How long will an Ultra-Drain Guard last?
The lifespan of an Ultra-Drain Guard depends on various factors, such as the amount of rainfall, type, and quantity of pollutants. To determine its effectiveness, it is recommended to inspect the unit after each significant rain event.
4. Can the Ultra-Drain Guard be reused?
It can be removed, emptied out, and replaced if it is filled with sand, silt, sediment, or trash and debris. However, it cannot be reused if it is saturated with oil, fuel or other hydrocarbons due to the risk of flushing out pollutants during a major rain event. It is recommended that the unit be replaced in such cases.
5. Can I replace just the filter fabric without buying another frame?
Yes, replacement fabric is available in a 10-pack (CHU8932). Simply remove the fabric by pulling apart the hook and loop fasteners around the top perimeter of the Ultra-Drain Guard and replace it with a new one.
6. Why would I use the Ultra-Drain Guard Adjustable Frame Model instead of one of your other Ultra-Drain Guard models?
The unique feature of the adjustable frame model is, of course, the adjustable frame. This allows the unit to stay in place whenever the catch basin’s grate is lifted or removed. Our other Ultra-Drain Guard relies on the grate to pinch the fabric and hold the unit in place.
7. Is hardware included?
If you purchase either CHU8930 (1-pack) or CHU8931 (10-pack), you will receive everything you need, including the hardware (frame). No other parts, pieces or components will be necessary to install/use your Ultra-Drain Guard.
8. What other products could be used instead of the Ultra-Drain Guard Adjustable Frame Model?
The Ultra-Drain Guard Economy Frame Model is very similar, with the exception of a reusable frame.
