FAQs

What does 'Class A15' mean?

Class A15 refers to a load-bearing capacity rating, indicating the channel drain can support a load of up to 15 kN (approximately 1.5 tonnes). It is suitable for areas with pedestrian traffic, such as patios, gardens, and pathways.

Can I connect channels at an angle other than 90 degrees?

This specific tee junction is designed for 90-degree connections to allow for branching. For other angles or configurations, you would need to consult the wider Polycon Luxe Threshold Channel system for compatible fittings.

What material is the main body of the tee junction made from?

The main body is manufactured from an extruded composite, chosen for its durability and performance in drainage applications.

How do I ensure the connection is 100% watertight?

Proper alignment and a firm push-fit connection are crucial. For guaranteed watertightness, it is recommended to use a suitable sealant specifically designed for drainage systems, applied according to the sealant and Polycon manufacturer's instructions.

Is the corton steel grating resistant to rust?

The grating has a corton effect finish. While this finish provides an aesthetic, regular cleaning and maintenance are advised to preserve its appearance and prevent potential corrosion over time, especially in harsh environments.

Where is this tee junction typically used?

It's commonly used in threshold drainage applications, connecting three lengths of channel drain. This is particularly useful for large patio doors, façade lines, and perimeter drainage systems that require multi-directional water flow.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point.

Ensure the channel ends and tee junction internal surfaces are clean and dry. Re-seat the channel into the tee junction firmly. Verify that the appropriate sealant has been used correctly as per manufacturer's instructions for a 100% watertight seal.

Water not draining effectively.

Check the entire channel run for blockages, including the tee junction. Ensure the system has adequate fall/slope towards the outlet. Clear any debris from the grating and channel interior.

Grating feels loose.

Confirm the grating is correctly seated within the tee junction channel. Check for any obstructions preventing it from sitting flush. If damaged, contact the supplier for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tee junction is designed to connect directly to Polycon LUXE Threshold Channel lengths. Ensure the ends of the channel lengths are clean and free from debris before joining. Apply the recommended sealant (if specified by Polycon for this product) to the connection points to guarantee a 100% watertight seal. Insert the channel lengths firmly into the tee junction until fully seated.

Compatibility: This product is exclusively compatible with the Polycon LUXE Threshold Channel drainage system. It is not designed for use with other drainage channel brands or types.

Care: To maintain the aesthetic and performance, regularly clean the corton steel grating and the channel body. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the finish. Periodically check the joins for any signs of debris accumulation and clear them to ensure optimal flow.
