Product Information

Full details

This FloPlast Channel Drainage Corner with a galvanised steel grating is designed for landscapers, builders, and DIY enthusiasts needing to create neat, efficient 90-degree corners in their surface water drainage systems. Its primary benefit is the fast and easy installation of sharp right-angled turns, avoiding the need for traditional, often messier, mitre joints. A potential caveat is ensuring the chosen grating type matches the project's aesthetic and load requirements.

FAQs

What material is the grating made of?

The grating for this specific corner unit is made of galvanised steel.

Can this corner be used for any angle turn?

No, this corner piece is specifically designed for 90-degree (right-angle) turns only.

How do I connect this to other drainage channels?

It connects using the integral moulded connections that are part of the FloPlast channel drainage system. Simply push the channel into the corner unit's connection point.

Is galvanised steel suitable for all environments?

Galvanised steel offers good resistance to corrosion, but in highly aggressive coastal or chemical environments, other materials might be considered for long-term durability.

How often should I clean the drainage system?

It is recommended to check and clean the drainage system, including the grating and channels, at least twice a year, or more frequently if you notice significant debris accumulation.

Can I use this with different brands of channel drainage?

This FloPlast corner is designed to be compatible with FloPlast channel drainage systems. Using it with other brands may not ensure a secure or watertight connection.

Troubleshooting

Corner unit does not connect securely to channels.

Check for any obstructions or damage on the integral moulded connections of both the corner unit and the channel. Ensure they are properly aligned before pushing them together.

Water is not draining effectively from the corner.

Inspect the grating and the channel for blockages. Clean out any debris. Also, check that the entire drainage run has a sufficient gradient towards the outlet.

Grating feels loose after installation.

Ensure the grating is seated correctly within the designated slots of the corner unit. Some systems may have clips or securing mechanisms; check product documentation for your specific model.
