ACO HexDrain Channel Drainage System - Galvanised Steel Grating - 1m

The ACO HexDrain system with galvanised steel grating is designed for pedestrian and vehicle traffic up to 1.5 tonnes.

Yes, the 1m channels are designed to clip together, allowing you to create drainage runs of custom lengths by joining multiple units.

The HexDrain system is compatible with a choice of six different gratings from ACO, including galvanised steel, ductile iron, and decorative options.

It is recommended to inspect the system regularly and clean out any debris or silt at least twice a year, or more frequently if in a heavily used area or prone to leaf fall.

Concrete bedding is highly recommended, especially for driveways or areas with vehicle traffic, to ensure stability and load-bearing performance. For purely pedestrian areas, a well-compacted sub-base may suffice.

Yes, the system can be installed on a slope. Ensure a consistent fall towards the outlet for efficient water flow.

The standard grating included with this specific product (ACO HexDrain 19313) is made of galvanised steel.

Ensure the channel has a consistent fall towards the outlet and check for any blockages in the channel or outlet pipe.

Ensure the grating is correctly seated in the channel. For some grating types, locking systems may need to be engaged as per installation instructions.

Check for any debris or damage on the clipping mechanism. Ensure channels are aligned correctly before attempting to clip them together.

This may indicate inadequate ground support. Ensure the base is properly compacted and consider reinforcing with concrete, especially in high-traffic areas.
