FAQs
Can this pipe be used for vehicle driveways?
This pipe is primarily designed for sub-surface drainage in garden or agricultural settings. If installing under a driveway, ensure it is buried at a sufficient depth with proper load-bearing cover to prevent crushing.
What is the minimum bend radius of this pipe?
The pipe is flexible, but avoid sharp 90-degree bends to prevent kinking. Use gentle curves when navigating corners in your trench.
Do I need any special tools to cut this pipe?
No, a standard utility knife or a fine-tooth saw is sufficient to cut the pipe to the desired length.
Is this pipe compatible with rigid drainage pipes?
While it can be joined to other systems, you may require specific adapters or connectors if connecting to rigid plastic drainage pipes.
Does the 80mm measurement refer to the inside or outside?
The 80mm measurement is the outside diameter; the inside diameter is 67mm.
Troubleshooting
Water is not flowing through the system
Check the pipe's gradient to ensure it is sloping downward; if the pipe is level or uphill, water will not drain effectively.
Pipe is getting clogged with soil/silt
Ensure that a high-quality geotextile membrane is wrapped around the pipe to prevent soil and debris from entering the perforations.
Difficulty joining pipe sections
Ensure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and fully inserted into the provided coupling until you feel a secure fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Lightweight and easy to transport on-site
High-capacity drainage for sub-surface water management
Includes essential coupling for quick connectivity
Flexible construction allows for easy routing in trenches
Cost-effective solution for long-term ground moisture control
Cons
Not suitable for high-pressure water systems
Requires proper filter fabric to prevent silt build-up
Not intended for deep load-bearing under heavy traffic areas
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Trench Preparation: Excavate a trench with a slight fall to ensure gravity-fed water movement.
Lining: Lay a geotextile membrane at the bottom of the trench to filter fine sediment.
Placement: Uncoil the pipe and lay it flat within the trench. Use the provided coupling to join this coil to existing pipe runs or extension coils.
Backfilling: Carefully backfill the trench with clean gravel or shingle to protect the pipe and allow water to percolate through to the perforations.
Maintenance: Periodically check your outlet point to ensure there is no blockage preventing water exit, which could lead to water backing up into the system.
