I feel like I can just as easily open the big doors and clean out the floors. I'm kinda worried the thing will get clogged with gravel and dirt and cause big problems.
We have 2 in our garage and they are connected to the sanitary lines.

There is a p-trap in the basement for them (so you could clean them out) but I haven't bothered yet. I always sweep the garage out first before doing my spring cleanup to avoid too much gravel/junk going down the floor drain.

Also they are awesome, all the winter sludge drains away and the garage is not super humid all winter long like I've had in previous homes. Plus the garage slopes to the center (not to the o/h door) so no more garage door getting frozen to the slab or having tons of salt runoff onto the driveway.
