The Polycon Lite Aqua channel drain is an ideal drainage solution for homeowners and contractors seeking a reliable way to manage surface water on driveways, patios, and outdoor entryways subject to light vehicle traffic. Rated to Class B125, it offers an excellent balance of durability and ease of installation; however, it is strictly intended for light traffic areas and should not be used in environments subject to heavy industrial loading.

Yes, the system features a dedicated underside drainage outlet for streamlined connection to your drainage pipework.
Ductile iron is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. Over time, it will develop a dark patina, but it will maintain its structural integrity outdoors.
No, this product is designed for residential driveways and light vehicle traffic. It should not be used in high-traffic or industrial commercial settings.
The channel height is 48mm. You should excavate deep enough to accommodate the channel plus 50-100mm of bedding material for structural support.
Check the outlet connection for blockages and ensure the channel has been installed with a slight gradient toward the discharge point.
Ensure the grates are fully seated in the channel and that the surrounding concrete bedding is flush with the grate edge to lock it in place.
Inspect the connection points for debris during installation and consider using a waterproof sealant if the joints are not perfectly aligned.
To install, excavate a trench slightly wider and deeper than the channel body. Prepare a concrete or compacted base to ensure the system does not settle over time. Once the channel is positioned, connect the units using the integrated joints, then fit the necessary end caps. Before pouring the concrete haunching, place the ductile iron grates in position to prevent the channel walls from bowing inward under the weight of the concrete. Keep the channels free from debris, leaves, and silt by periodically removing the grates and rinsing the interior to ensure optimal flow rates.
