Product Information

Strong and robust V shaped channel design with a range of constant, sloped and shallow depth channels Through this guide, you will be able to learn about how to install a corner channel drain and ensure the long-term function of the system. A quad section can be one of the easier ways to install a corner channel drain. Many ranges already have these available to fit alongside their standard line channel drain parts. Not only can they be placed without the need to cut to a specific size, but come in a wide variety of sizes to suit the channel drain you’re installing.

Keep in mind that these can be rather difficult to create and take up much of your time. So make sure you have set time aside to create the corner unit. Once this has been done, you can move forward to the installation after the following steps have been completed. Their extensive product portfolio offers market leading and high-performance solutions for every drainage application from internal and building drainage, to landscaping, commercial projects, highways, airports and even environmentally sensitive drainage systems. If you require a rainwater downpipe to connect directly into the channel install the corner unit under the downpipe, remove the grating and replace with either 65mm square downpipe connector (27123) or 68mm round downpipe connector (27120) then feed the downpipe into the top of the connector. This makes for a neat and aesthetically pleasing connection. Where you have marked the first line drain piece, use a cut-off saw, angle grinder or hand-saw to cut off the spare drain length. This will allow the corner unit to be accommodated following the cutting process. Ensure this is accurate and, as with the line of the channel drain, ensure any debris has been removed before installation to reduce the risk of leaks. Step 4: Connecting the parts The HexDrain Corner Unit has several uses, to change the direction of the run by 90°, to form a T-junction, to connect to a rainwater downpipe or as an outlet connection.

This is the same as ‘channel’ drainage and often used interchangeably.The term is typically used to emphasise the difference over the more traditional ’point drains’. This is significant as linear systems tend to offer economic benefits over point drainage as a result of reduced underground piping and easier construction that results from the elimination of complicated falls or levels. Use an outlet to connect this grating to the underground drainage of the property and this ACO channel drain will function without you ever knowing it’s there. ACO DoorWay Drain

More advanced forms of slot systems like the ACO Qmax although not load bearing in their own right, are formers that facilitate the construction of a ‘non-interrupted’ pavement. Line (or, Linear) drain The HexDrain Corner Unit can be installed at any location within a channel run, you may want to install just one as an outlet or multiple units for rainwater downpipes.

If the manufacturer does not provide quad connectors, then you will need to cut where the two pieces will connect on the corner to make one. The corner sections will need to be made with joints so that an angle of 90° can be made. Because channels tends to be less deep than other systems it is particularly well suited when constructing drainage in areas with complex underground services and utilities. For this reason the term linear is used to emphasise the surface nature of channel drainage Trench drain Following the cutting process, you can now place the connection piece into position and join the units together. This can be done in the same way as you would do a standard channel drain unit. Slide the unit into the clean connection piece and then gently tap it into place using a mallet or similar hammering-type tool. The plastic grating with microgrip offers a non-slip cover for drainage systems around the house. In addition to the tried-and-tested nub structure, the grating is equipped with many tiny bumps that ensure surefootedness even in high humidity. The structure is moulded directly into the grate surface and is therefore particularly durable. The plastic grating retains its non-slip properties even after heavy use by being run over by a car.

If your entry pathway is at a slight slope running toward the house, it may be worth installing ACO DoorWay drain to prevent any water ingress. You want to fit the final part of the corner. As before, measure and cut the length of the channel required to fit against to wall of the property. Before you place the channel itself, fit the end cap to the short section to ensure the channel can be installed into the correct position after.
