Product Information

Full details

The Fernco Storm Drain Channel is designed for homeowners and contractors needing an effective surface water drainage solution. Its key benefit is its robust construction, capable of withstanding 5-tonne vehicle weight when properly installed in concrete, making it ideal for driveways and patios. A potential consideration is the requirement for concrete surrounding to achieve its maximum load-bearing capacity.

Troubleshooting
