The channel is longer than it is wide with a cross sectional dimension design to contain the flow from the associated surface surrounding the installation. The channel body can bemanufactured from Polymer Concrete, Plastic or Steel. 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. Here Drainage Superstore we are proud to supply their vast range of products and supplies at our famously competitive prices. 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 There are two main ways to create a corner channel drain. Whether that corner may be a standard “L” shape, “T” shape or any other corner type, you can manufacture the drain to suit specific standards.

The system is fully certificated, UKCA and CE marked to BS EN 1433:2002 from Load Class A 15 pedestrian areas, up to and including Load Class D 400 suitable for parking of all types of road vehicles*. ACO building drainage comes in a variety of forms. They have taken full advantage of their state-of-the-art manufacturing plant to create a fully flexible modular stainless steel drainage system that is available off the shelf. They also have a wide selection of stainless steel pipework and accessories in 304 grade and 316 grade stainless steel, in addition to their kitchen channel drainage, balcony drainage range, and shallow drainage systems. 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 As a guide, 1:100 type fall can be suitable for smooth drainage fittings. Step: 6: Fitting the short end

Most significantly ACO RoadDrain carries the BSI Kitemark which ensures that the recycled materials and the process used to manufacture it, produce consistently high quality BS EN 1433: 2002 marked product. The product is also fully compliant with national highways and transport agencies (UK) and National Roads Authority (ROI) requirements for motorway and major trunk roads. B125 weight load class rating makes it suitable for areas with light vehicular traffic, such as driveways and private car parks ACO RainDrain is another ACO drainage application favourite. Having specially developed a lightweight concrete, Vienite, using recycled polymer, ACO can offer RainDrain as a fantastic option for domestic drainage. The strong, stable base is a great foundation for the galvanised steel grating that comes with ACO RainDrain.

ACO HexDrain is a high-strength channel drain manufactured with a recycled polypropylene base for use in domestic applications. Popular amongst homeowners and property developers alike, the channel drain is simple to install and comes with nine other grating options so each system can be customised to the property it’s installed in front of. Channel drains are typically structural formers that are integral to the performance of the system but may or may not be load bearing without the required surround detail. 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. Features & Benefits: ACO Hexdrain Plastic Channel Drain A15 with Microgrip - 1m 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 Protective UltraSTEEL galvanised edge rails for improved strength and bonding between channel and surface materials. Also available in stainless steel This is a term that is often incorrectly used referring the broad family of ‘Channel’ systems.While it is a ‘channel system’ with a surface element and an underlying channel component, it differs in that the surface interface is defined by a discrete slot as opposed to a grating. This can be utilised by designers for aesthetic benefit without the need to compromise on the drainage capacity. It is also used in areas subject to heavy loading where it is important to eliminate moveable parts (Qmax is an example of this). As with channel systems the materials can vary from polymer concrete to plastic and steel. 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.
