FAQs

How much total length does this pack provide?

This pack includes 8 individual 1-meter lengths, providing a combined total of 8 meters of drainage channel.

What material is the channel and grate made of?

Both the channel and the accompanying mesh grate are constructed from durable polypropylene.

Can I connect this system to existing drainage pipes?

Yes, each channel has a pre-cut outlet space designed for connection to standard 110mm drainage pipes, allowing integration into existing systems.

Is this system suitable for heavy vehicle traffic?

This system is designed for domestic use and is not recommended for areas with heavy vehicle traffic. For such applications, heavy-duty channel drains would be more appropriate.

How do I join the channel sections together?

The channels feature a simple and secure slide-and-click system that allows for easy connection between individual 1-meter lengths.

What is the overall width and height of a single channel?

Each channel has a width of 135mm and a height of 140mm.

Does the pack include the necessary piping for the outlet?

No, this pack includes the drainage channels and grates. Separate drainage piping is required for connecting to the outlet space.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling despite installation

Check for a sufficient slope towards the outlet. Ensure the channel is not blocked by debris and that the connected pipe is clear and correctly sloped.

Channels not connecting securely

Ensure the 'slide-and-click' interfaces on both channels are clean and free from obstruction. Apply firm, even pressure to engage the mechanism.

Grate is loose or dislodged

Ensure the grate is correctly seated within the channel's groove. Check for any damage to the grate or channel edges that might prevent a secure fit.

Slow drainage

Inspect the entire length of the channel and the connected pipe for blockages. Sediment or foreign objects can significantly impede flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides 8 meters of total coverage in one pack.
  • Simple and secure slide-and-click connection system.
  • Durable polypropylene construction for longevity.
  • Includes integrated outlet for easy connection to drainage pipes.
  • Suitable for a variety of domestic applications.
  • Lightweight and easy to handle during installation.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for domestic use; may not be suitable for heavy-duty commercial applications.

  • The 135mm width might be insufficient for extremely high water flow areas.
  • Installation may require cutting to specific lengths, needing appropriate tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Plan Layout: Determine the path for your drainage channel, ensuring a slight slope towards the intended outlet.
  2. Excavate Trench: Dig a trench slightly wider than the channel's 135mm width, deep enough to accommodate the 140mm height and allow for bedding material.
  3. Connect Channels: Join the 1m lengths using the integrated slide-and-click system, ensuring a secure and flush fit.
  4. Install Outlet: Connect a suitable drainage pipe to the pre-cut outlet space at the end of a channel.
  5. Position & Bed: Place the assembled channel into the trench. Use gravel or concrete bedding for stable support.
  6. Place Grates: Snap the black polypropylene mesh grates into place on top of the channels.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard 110mm drainage pipes for the outlet connection.
  • Suitable for use with concrete, gravel, or soil bedding.

Care:

  • Periodically remove the grates to clear any accumulated debris, leaves, or sediment.
  • Clean the channels with a hose and brush if necessary.
  • Inspect connections annually to ensure they remain secure.
