I'm wanting to install a drainage channel across the bottom of my patio. Mainly to stop muddy water going into the alley out the back when I was my mountain bikes...

I've been looking at the stuff with a plastic or galvanised grate over the top, this kind of stuff:



Now, I want to drain it into an inspection chamber in the foul drain as there is no surface water drain nearby.

I'll need a trap of some description to stop smells and so on. I've been in B&Q today to look at the channels and fittings but can't see any traps or piping that will fit the outlet on the bottom of the channels. The gear they have is 110mm, looks like the channel outlet is 100mm or just under.

Am I barking up the wrong tree? I'd rather send it down the drain than dig a soakaway but I can't find the bits I need.

Any help much appreciated!!

Neil.

 

could have a word with jacko neil , his mate dannys a builder , always down the unit ,

im sure he could help fella


beef

 

you will need a back inlet gulley this will stop the smell!

 

I've found some with 110mm outlets:



I'll be OK with this I reckon, like the look of the back inlet as I'll be able to get access to it if it blocks up.

 

ours just drains directly into the rainwater drain

 

Lucky you - my rainwater drain is uphill

Got to be the sewer dude

 

Niel, they should be compatable with 110mm underground pipe , you need a pee trap bellow the outlet, and the 110 will take the outlet into it.
MKM supply a simmilar product , but the outlet is only 50mm diamiter , it comes with an adapter , but this will only fit into a straight conector, pain in the arse for maintainance (50mm cant get hand down).
Personaly never bought from B&Q normaly Jewsons mate , so cant comment on there stuff.
If you need a heads up i am free to go shopping lol

 

Righto Clive, I'll give Jewsons a try, then if I get stuck, give you a shout, much appreciated

I spotted you the other week, working on Enfield Chase in Gboro, just round the corner from me

 

Also try Grant and Stone, thats where I have gotten all of my bits from
