About This Product
Debris comes in all shapes and sizes, and those falling from trees can be especially damaging to your drainage system. Leaves, needles, and twigs from overhanging branches often travel from your rooftop into the gutter downspout. The Downspout Defender outdoor drainage grate intercepts this debris before it can clog your drain pipes. Its innovative angled design captures more stormwater runoff than standard flat grates.
Designed to fit 12 in. catch basin drains, the angled grate reduces the water drop distance from the downspout, minimizing splashing against building walls or bouncing off the grate. Debris slides off the sloped surface into a built-in, easy-to-clean shelf. For enhanced protection, pair with the Catch Basin Insert Filter (sold separately) to block finer particles and maintain efficient drainage.
Whether you’re managing a small yard or a large property, NDS offers versatile drainage solutions to match your needs. Explore options using the NDS Home Drainage Center at ndspro.com/home-drainage. Since 1972, NDS has been the trusted name in rainwater management, available both in stores and online.
