Active Aqua 2.0 Infinity Tray - 5' x 6.5' End Tray w/ Drain

The End Tray w/Drain is the only component in the Infinity Tray system with an integrated drain outlet — it must be positioned first in the run to establish where nutrient solution exits the tray system after each irrigation cycle. Without it, there's no drainage point and the system cannot function as intended. Every run requires exactly one End Tray w/Drain regardless of total length.

A complete run requires the End Tray w/Drain (this listing) as the first component, followed by one to seven Middle Trays, then one Division Tray, and finally one End Tray at the opposite end. All four component types are available separately on this site in both 4' and 5' widths. The minimum run uses one Middle Tray alongside the three required single-quantity components.

Staal Plast Polystyrene glue (item STP3010) is the required adhesive and is sold separately. It is applied with a caulk gun into the 3–5 mm gap between tray connections and must cure for 48–72 hours at 68°F before the trays are put into service. Full gluing instructions are included in the installation guide linked above — wearing breathing protection, goggles, and gloves during the gluing process is required.

The 5' Infinity Tray series is compatible with Active Aqua IZON Rolling Bench Systems (AAB51001, AAB52002), the Active Aqua 4'x8' Rolling Bench (AARBK48) equipped with a trellis kit, IGE benches, and most standard 5'-wide commercial rolling benches. For 4'-wide bench setups, the 4' Infinity Tray series is the appropriate match.

The trays support a maximum load of 154 lbs/m² with support beams spaced no more than 19.5" (500 mm) apart. The drain section of the tray must not rest on any support beam, and glued tray connections must be supported within 2.75" (70 mm) of the connection point. Supports must be placed under the section of the tray with the drop-down glue lip. Full sub-support diagrams are included in the installation guide.

The End Tray w/Drain (this listing) has an integrated drain outlet and is always positioned at the start of the bench run — it's where solution exits the system. The End Tray (without drain) is a mirror component placed at the opposite end of the run to close off the system. Both are required in every Infinity Tray installation; they are not interchangeable and each is available separately on this site.

Yes. The 2.0 Infinity Trays are made from High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) — a UV-stable, food-safe thermoplastic that remains 100% recyclable even after years of continuous grow room use. The material is impact and heat resistant, and the UV-stable formulation prevents degradation from grow light exposure over extended production cycles.
