Product Information

Full details

This Polycon Lite Aqua B125 Corner Unit is designed for property owners and contractors needing to create 90-degree turns in light traffic drainage systems, such as driveways and parking areas. Its key benefit is providing a watertight connection at corners while preventing foul odors from escaping, thanks to an integrated trap. A potential consideration is that its B125 rating is suitable for light traffic, not heavy-duty applications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the load rating for this corner unit?

This corner unit is rated for Class B125, meaning it is suitable for areas with light traffic, such as pedestrian areas, driveways, and light vehicle traffic zones.

Can I connect different brands of channel drains to this unit?

No, this corner unit is specifically designed to connect with Polycon Lite Aqua B125 channel drains to ensure a watertight and secure fit.

How does the foul air trap work?

The foul air trap is designed to hold a small amount of water, creating a barrier that prevents unpleasant sewer gases from rising up through the drain and escaping into the environment.

How do I clean the ductile iron grating?

The grating can be lifted out for cleaning. Use a stiff brush and water to remove any accumulated debris. Ensure it is properly replaced after cleaning.

Is this unit suitable for heavy vehicle traffic?

No, the Class B125 rating is intended for light traffic only. For areas with heavier vehicle loads, a higher-rated drainage system would be required.

What is the purpose of the black mesh grating?

The black ductile iron mesh grating serves to prevent larger debris from entering the drainage system, protecting it from blockages, while allowing water to pass through freely. It also provides a finished aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Slow or no water drainage

Check the grating and channel interior for blockages such as leaves, mud, or debris. Clean as necessary. Ensure the channel has adequate slope towards the outlet.

Foul odors escaping

Verify that the foul air trap is correctly installed and that there is sufficient water in the trap to form a seal. Clean the trap if it appears blocked.

Grating not sitting correctly

Ensure the channel edge is clean and undamaged. Re-seat the grating, checking for any obstructions preventing it from lying flat.
