Product Information

Full details

The Alliance Remedial Land Drain Filter Sleeve (60mm x 25m) is an essential tool for contractors and homeowners managing sub-surface drainage systems to prevent clogs caused by sand and silt. By acting as a protective barrier, it significantly extends the lifespan of perforated pipes and maintains optimal drainage performance; however, users must ensure the sleeve is properly secured during installation to prevent shifting within the trench.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this sleeve work with corrugated pipe?

Yes, the knitted fabric is flexible and designed to expand over the ridges of standard corrugated land drainage pipe.

Can this be used in heavy clay soil?

Yes, the filtration properties help manage fine particles, though ensure your backfill material is appropriate for the soil type.

How long does the sleeve last underground?

It is designed for long-term underground use and is constructed from materials meant to resist rotting and biological degradation.

Does it restrict water flow?

No, the geotextile is designed specifically to maximize water permeability while minimizing sediment intake.

Can I use this for non-perforated pipe?

This product is specifically intended for perforated pipes to protect the drainage holes; it provides little benefit to solid-walled pipes.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty sliding sleeve over pipe

Ensure the pipe ends are free of burrs and that the pipe is not bent excessively at joints.

Sleeve snagging on pipe perforations

Use a small amount of non-greasy lubricant or pull the sleeve over a smooth section of the pipe first to establish momentum.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces maintenance by preventing pipe clogs
  • Lightweight and easy to transport to job sites
  • Compatible with a wide variety of pipe materials
  • One-person installation saves on labor costs

Cons

  • Requires careful alignment to avoid bunching
  • Not suitable for high-pressure industrial fluid transport
  • Must be protected from UV exposure prior to burial

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, slide the 25m sleeve over the leading end of the pipe and work it along the length until fully covered. Ensure the sleeve is taut and not excessively loose, as excess material can obstruct flow if it folds over itself. When backfilling, be mindful of sharp rocks that might snag the fabric. While the material is chemically resistant, avoid contact with harsh solvents during installation. Once installed underground, the sleeve requires no ongoing maintenance, as the natural flow of water helps prevent buildup on the exterior surface of the geotextile.
