Product Information

Full details

The Alliance Remedial Land Drain Filter Sleeve is designed for professional landscapers, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts aiming to prevent soil-related blockages in underground drainage systems. By utilizing a high-quality knitted geotextile fabric, it effectively filters out sand and silt, ensuring that your perforated pipes remain clear and functional for years to come. While the sleeve is highly effective at improving system longevity, it is important to note that it requires proper tensioning during installation to ensure optimal performance without bunching.

FAQs

Will this fit on a 100mm pipe?

No, this specific sleeve is sized for 80mm perforated pipe. Attempting to force it onto a larger pipe will cause the material to stretch too thin, compromising its filtration capabilities.

Can I use this for deep trench drainage?

Yes, it is suitable for typical residential and light commercial trench depths, provided the backfill is installed carefully to avoid tearing.

Is the material biodegradable?

No, the sleeve is made from synthetic materials designed to resist decomposition and rot, ensuring long-term protection underground.

Does it affect the drainage capacity of the pipe?

When installed correctly, the permeability of the geotextile is higher than that of the surrounding soil, meaning it will not restrict the water flow into the pipe.

How do I join two 25m lengths?

Overlap the two ends by approximately 15cm, slide them over the pipe joint, and secure them firmly with cable ties to ensure no sediment can enter at the seam.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve is difficult to slide over the pipe

Ensure the pipe is dry and free of debris. If the pipe has protruding couplers or joints, wrap them with duct tape to create a smoother surface.

Sleeve bunches up during installation

Work with a partner to pull the sleeve tight from both ends simultaneously, or use a small amount of water to lubricate the pipe surface slightly.

Visible tearing on the fabric

Use a heavy-duty geotextile repair patch or wrap the torn section securely with adhesive tape before proceeding with the backfill.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly extends the lifespan of perforated land drain pipes
  • Prevents system clogging from fine sediment and soil particles
  • Easy to install by hand without the need for specialized tools
  • Lightweight and portable for difficult-to-access job sites
  • Compatible with a wide range of common pipe materials

Cons

  • Requires manual effort to slide onto long sections of pipe
  • Susceptible to tearing if dragged over sharp rocks during backfilling
  • Must be secured at ends to prevent shifting during burial

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the perforated pipe is clean and free of jagged edges that might snag the fabric. Slide the sleeve onto the 80mm pipe like a sock, ensuring it is pulled taut so there are no folds or gathers. Once the pipe is fully covered, trim the excess length and secure the ends with plastic zip ties or heavy-duty tape. Avoid using harsh chemicals near the drainage area. If the sleeve is being used in a particularly aggressive environment, ensure that the surrounding backfill consists of clean, rounded aggregate rather than sharp, crushed rock to prevent physical damage to the filter material.
