Product Information
Full details
This guide is for landscapers, builders, and homeowners managing surface water on driveways and forecourts. The Polycon Lite Aqua B125 Corner Unit is key to efficiently redirecting water around 90-degree turns in B125 channel drainage systems, preventing pooling and water damage. Its primary benefit is seamless integration into existing Lite Aqua channels for effective water management. A potential caveat is that it is specifically designed for B125 channel systems and requires compatible Lite Aqua channels for proper connection. Key features include its robust polyethylene construction, a secure composite grating, integrated foul air trap, and watertight connections.

FAQs
What is the load rating of this corner unit?
This corner unit is part of the Class B125 system, meaning it is designed to withstand a load of up to 125 kilonewtons (kN) or approximately 12.5 tonnes. It is suitable for driveways, forecourts, and areas with light vehicular traffic.
Can I use this corner unit with other brands of channel drains?
No, this corner unit is specifically designed to connect with PBSL Group Lite Aqua B125 channel drains. Using it with other brands may result in incompatible or leaky connections.
How do I clean the composite grating?
The composite grating can be cleaned using water and a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, a mild detergent can be used. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
What is the purpose of the foul air trap?
The foul air trap is designed to hold a small amount of water, creating a seal that prevents unpleasant odors from sewer lines or stagnant water within the drainage system from escaping to the surface.
How are the connections made watertight?
The Lite Aqua system is designed with interlocking channels and corner units that, when properly fitted, create a 100% watertight seal. Ensure the channels are fully engaged with the corner unit during installation.
What material is the corner unit made from?
The corner unit itself is manufactured from durable polyethylene, and it features a black composite grating.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling around the corner unit.
Ensure the Lite Aqua channels are correctly sloped towards the outlet. Verify that the connections to the corner unit are secure and watertight. Check the grating and foul air trap for blockages.
Foul odors emanating from the drainage system.
The foul air trap may be dislodged or blocked. Carefully remove the grating and check that the foul air trap is correctly seated and clear of debris. Ensure the trap contains a sufficient water seal.
Grating feels loose or unstable.
Ensure the grating is properly seated within the channel body. Check for any damage to the grating or the channel seating. If damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Lite Aqua B125 Corner Unit is designed to connect directly to PBSL Group Lite Aqua B125 channel drains. Ensure the ends of the channel drains are clean and free of debris. Slide the channel ends into the designated connection points on the corner unit, ensuring a snug fit. Secure connections as per the main Lite Aqua system installation guidelines, typically involving connection clips or interlocking mechanisms.
Compatibility: This corner unit is specifically designed for use with the PBSL Group Lite Aqua B125 channel drainage system. It is not compatible with other drainage channel brands or different load-rating classes (e.g., A15, C250).

The composite grating can be cleaned with water and a soft brush. Periodically check the foul air trap for any blockages and clear as necessary. Connections should be checked periodically to ensure they remain watertight.
