Product Information
Full details
This Lite Aqua Corner Unit is designed for installers and specifiers who need to create 90-degree turns in their Class A15 channel drainage systems. Its key benefit is ensuring watertight connections and preventing odor escape with an integrated foul air trap. A potential caveat to consider is its specific load rating, suitable only for pedestrian areas. This durable polyethylene corner unit seamlessly connects two lengths of Aqua Lite channel drains, featuring a galvanised steel grating for a discreet appearance and maintaining the system's 1.5-tonne load capacity.

FAQs
What type of traffic can this corner unit support?
The Lite Aqua Corner Unit, along with the associated channel system, is rated for Class A15, which means it can support up to 1.5 tonnes. This is suitable for pedestrian areas, cycle paths, and light garden use.
How do I connect this corner unit to the straight channel drains?
The corner unit features integrated connection points designed to receive the ends of PBSL Group Lite Aqua channel drains. Ensure the ends are clean and slide them firmly into the ports. Watertight integrity is achieved through the design of these connections.
Does the foul air trap require maintenance?
The foul air trap functions by maintaining a water seal. It requires occasional checking to ensure it is not blocked and that a sufficient water level is present to prevent odors. Periodic flushing or cleaning may be needed if debris accumulates.
What material is the corner unit made of?
The corner unit itself is manufactured from durable polyethylene, ensuring longevity and resistance to environmental factors. The grating is made of galvanised steel.
Can this unit be used in areas with heavy vehicle traffic?
No, this unit is specifically designed for Class A15 load rating, which is only suitable for pedestrian and light use. It is not intended for vehicular traffic.
How do I clean the galvanised steel grating?
The galvanised steel grating can be cleaned using water and a soft cloth or brush with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the galvanised finish.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage at connection points.
Ensure channel ends are properly seated and secured. Check for any obstructions or damage at the connection ports. Reapply sealant if necessary according to manufacturer guidelines.
Foul odors escaping from the drain.
Verify that the foul air trap is correctly installed and functioning. Ensure the trap contains a sufficient water seal. Clean any blockages that might be preventing proper trap function.
Grating appears discolored or corroded.
Galvanised steel may naturally change appearance over time. Clean with water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. If significant corrosion is present, consult the manufacturer.
