ACO HexDrain Corner Unit - Plastic Grating - Vertical Outlet

Product Information

ACO Threshold drain is a slim plastic and aluminium channel which has been designed for entryways to domestic properties. Its slimline design allows the channel to be discrete and stylish without compromising on function. ACO Threshold will stop water from ponding at the entrance to a home. It’s advised that this ACO channel drain is used at the door threshold but not in the doorway. For drainage at the doorway, to prevent water from coming into the property, use ACO DoorWay drain as detailed below. ACO DoorWay drain is very similar to ACO Threshold drain except it’s wider and so will be more effective at preventing water from running into a property. 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. 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. Here Drainage Superstore we are proud to supply their vast range of products and supplies at our famously competitive prices. 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.

The corner unit is supplied with 4 x solid sides, any of these can be removed to allow rainwater to flow into or through the corner unit. To form a 90° angle you simply cut out the two relevant side sections and clip the HexDrain channel to the corner unit, for a watertight connection please use a suitable sealant. Protective UltraSTEEL galvanised edge rails for improved strength and bonding between channel and surface materials. Also available in stainless steelIf 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. The method of installation is essentially the same, but the placement of the corner pieces will be key.

Step: 6: Fitting the short end

One method involves simply cutting the straight pieces to accommodate the corners and one uses a quad section. The following will explain each of these two methods and how you can use them in your channel drain structure. Method 1: The quad system 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 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. 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

Strong and light weight design, with male and female channel connections to aid accurate installationACO channel drainage also comes in a variety of forms from pedestrian class A15 to light traffic roads class C250, domestic driveway channels B125 and a whole lot more! 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.
