Product Information

Full details

The PBSL Group 60mm x 50m Perforated Land Drain and Filter Sleeve Kit is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to mitigate waterlogging in gardens, equestrian areas, or construction sites. Its primary benefit is a highly effective, clog-resistant drainage system that diverts excess groundwater to prevent saturation, though users should note that the 60mm diameter is best suited for small-to-medium-scale drainage projects rather than high-volume commercial run-off.

FAQs

Can this pipe be used under heavy traffic areas?

It is primarily designed for garden and agricultural use; for driveways, ensure it is buried at a sufficient depth and protected by suitable backfill to prevent crushing.

What is the primary function of the filter sleeve?

The sleeve acts as a filter to keep silt and sand out of the pipe, preventing clogs and ensuring water enters the pipe freely.

Is the 60mm diameter enough for my garden?

For most domestic garden drainage, 60mm is the industry standard and provides sufficient capacity for moderate rainfall.

How do I connect two lengths of pipe?

You will need standard 60mm drainage couplings compatible with perforated land drain piping.

Does this kit include gravel for the trench?

No, this kit includes only the pipe and the filter sleeve. You will need to source clean aggregate separately.

Can this pipe be laid in clay soil?

Yes, but it is highly recommended to surround the pipe with a generous amount of gravel to ensure water reaches the perforations rather than being held back by the clay.

Troubleshooting

Water is not draining from the designated area.

Check the slope/gradient of the pipe to ensure it flows downward toward your soakaway or exit point.

Pipe seems to be silting up.

Ensure the geotextile filter sleeve is properly positioned and that you have used sufficient clean gravel around the pipe to act as a primary filter.

Difficulty uncoiling the pipe.

Warm the pipe in the sun for an hour or use a second person to help rotate the coil while laying it into the trench.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents soil saturation and waterlogging effectively
  • Filter sleeve significantly extends the lifespan of the drainage system
  • Easy for a single person to maneuver and install
  • Versatile use in garden, sports field, and agricultural drainage
  • High-quality construction ensures long-term underground durability

Cons

  • 60mm diameter may be insufficient for extremely high-volume water flow
  • Requires proper trench preparation for optimal results
  • Limited to smaller scale residential or semi-pro applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the trench is deep enough to allow for at least 150mm of backfill above the pipe. Start by lining the bottom of the trench with a layer of clean gravel before laying the pipe to ensure consistent drainage. Keep the pipe as straight as possible, as sharp bends can create points of resistance.

For maintenance, the geotextile sleeve is designed to be low-maintenance, but you should avoid placing the pipe in areas where large tree roots might penetrate the soil, as roots can eventually bypass the filter. If you are joining multiple sections, ensure you use the correct 60mm connectors to maintain a seamless seal against sediment ingress.
