FRP Drain Channels With Grating / Gully Cover
Method of Installation of Thermodrain (1-Piece Type) for Surface Drainage for Exterior and Basements (Recommended for Short Lengths up to 30 Mtrs)
- Prepare a trench of 200 mm extra width than the drain channel width.
- Before laying the Drain channel, check the compactness of the soil and ensure that its compact enough and will not sink due to the load that will be eventually applied on the Grating ( refer your civil or soil consultant). In case the soil is found to not take the load than you may create a concrete bed to resist the load with the slope of 1 mm/mtr. for water to flow by gravity.
- Once the concrete/mud bed is ready, you may place the Drain channel in position. The channel installation is to begin from the starting point and proceed towards the exit point.
- You may apply the Silicone sealant on the step given in the channel for joining with the connecting channel or Bend or Tee or Four way Tee. On applying the sealant you may place the connecting piece on the step and continue to place the further connecting pieces in the same manner.
- The connectors like the 90 deg. Bend, Tee and Fourway Tee are to be used as and where required depending on the layout of your site.
- You may refill the empty space around the channel network with the concrete and soil ( As shown in the drawing) and do the required compaction and bring it to the level of the installed grating. Once the filling is completed and cured you may clean the drain channel and you may place the gratings/ Gully covers on the channel network.
Method of Installation of Thermodrain (2-Piece Type) for Surface Drainage for Exterior and Basements (Recommended for Short & Long Lengths)
- Prepare a trench of 200 mm extra width than the drain channel width.
- Before laying the Drain channel, check the compactness of the soil and ensure that its compact enough and will not sink due to the load that will be eventually applied on the Grating ( refer your civil or soil consultant). In case the soil is found to not take the load than you may create a concrete bed to resist the load with the slope of 1 mm/mtr. for water to flow by gravity.
- Once the concrete/mud bed is ready, you may place the PART 1 of the Drain channel in position. The channel installation is to begin from the starting point and proceed towards the exit point. You may apply the Silicone sealant on the step given in the channel for joining with the connecting channel or Bend or Tee or Four way Tee. On applying the sealant you may place the connecting piece on the step and continue to place the further connecting pieces in the same manner.
- Once part 1 of the drain channel is laid than you may start placing the part 2 of the drain channel by maintaining the level of the flooring. You may keep adjusting the part 2 in order to maintain the flooring level.
- The connectors like the 90 deg. Bend, Tee and Fourway Tee are to be used as and where required depending on the layout of your site.
- You may refill the empty space around the channel network with the concrete and soil ( As shown in the drawing) and do the required compaction and bring it to the level of the installed grating. Once the filling is completed and cured you may clean the drain channel and you may place the gratings/ Gully covers on the channel network.
