This is for a museum courtyard, so it needs to look great. The plumbing engineer spec'd an ACO K100S 1/2" slot drain, however this seems to need clean-outs which won't look good. Now I'm thinking that a narrow (2") grating is the solution. ACO's gratings are 5'+/-. Who makes a 2" wide removeable grating? Thank you.

Can't the architect design a narrow slit in the paving with removable panels matching the paving a la Getty Center (if you've had a chance to see - or rather not see the drainage channels in the outdoor public areas)?

Your client can also design a custom grate. I know this is expensive, but it's for a museum.

For very nice solutions, consider

Very narrow linear slot drains. Though this system only shows interior applications, the FAQ states that it is fully capable of being installed in exterior locations.
