Product Information

Full details

This FloPlast Channel Drainage Grate Galvanised Steel - Class A15 pack is designed for homeowners and tradespeople needing to manage surface water effectively in driveways and garages. Its primary benefit is preventing blockages and directing water away from valuable areas. A key consideration is that additional channel lengths need to be ordered separately if the included 3 meters are insufficient. The pack includes three 1m channels, one end outlet, and one end cap, featuring a durable galvanised steel grating for reliable performance.

Troubleshooting

Drainage channel is not draining effectively

Check for blockages within the channel or outlet. Ensure there is an adequate fall (gradient) along the length of the channel towards the outlet.

Grating appears loose or unstable

Verify that the channel has been properly set and secured within its base (e.g., concrete surround). Ensure the grating is correctly seated onto the channel.

Water is pooling around the channel

Confirm that the surrounding ground has adequate drainage away from the channel. Check for any cracks or gaps in the surrounding material that might be allowing water to seep in.
