ACO HexDrain Corner Unit - Plastic Grating - Vertical Outlet

Product Information

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. 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.

ACO HexDrain is a plastic A15 load class channel drain built from recycled polypropylene for high strength and high durability. Designed with 8 possible outlet positions, this unique A15 channel drain can be used in domestic drainage projects such as along garage thresholds, landscaping projects and a range of DIY garden and patio applications. Both the ACO HexDrain base and grate come in 1m lengths and the base has markings at 500mm for easy cutting and measuring.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. As with previous drain pieces, clean and fit the connection piece. This is followed by the short section and the end, then finally placing the end cap onto the corner unit. 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. The corner drain has been placed and you are ready to begin marking. Mark with a pencil or sharp marking point where each drain piece will need to be cut to ensure the corner unit fits into place. Step 3: Cutting the drain parts

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. 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*. 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. This is the generic term for linear systems that incorporate a channel together with an inlet detail that is embedded in the constructed surface. ACO DoorWay drain slots underneath the doorway at the point of installation meaning that the door frame doesn't need to be cut or altered.ACO 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! REMINDER: Although this is a basic guide, we recommend you follow manufacturer instructions if provided. 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. 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.
