Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the 140mm spigot end of the hopper is clean and free from debris.
- Apply a small amount of lubricant (compatible with PVCu) to the spigot end if necessary, especially in colder conditions.
- Insert the spigot end firmly into the corresponding 140mm socket of the adjacent pipework until it is fully engaged.
- Ensure the hopper is positioned to receive water flow correctly and is adequately supported within the trench.
Compatibility:
This hopper is designed to connect to 140mm diameter drainage pipes and fittings. It is part of the Polypipe underground drainage range, offering compatibility with other Polypipe PVCu drainage products. Always verify that connecting pipes and fittings are also rated for underground use and compatible with the 140mm spigot.
Care:
- Periodically check the integrated grid for accumulated debris and clear as necessary.
- The PVCu material is low maintenance; clean with water and a mild detergent if required. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
