Description
Polydrain LCDBO Bottom Outlet Adaptor for A15 Low Flow Channel Drainage
The
Polydrain LCDBO bottom outlet adaptor provides a practical
channel drain bottom outlet for compatible Polydrain Low Flow channel drainage installations. It allows collected surface water to discharge vertically beneath the channel towards compatible underground drainage pipework rather than requiring an outlet at the end of the channel run. This
110mm channel drain adaptor arrangement is designed for use as a
Low Flow channel drain outlet where a downward connection is required. It forms part of the Polydrain system and provides a useful
A15 channel drainage adaptor solution for domestic and light-duty surface water drainage projects.

Polydrain LCDBO Bottom Outlet Adaptor
The
Polydrain LCDBO bottom outlet adaptor provides an alternative to taking the discharge from the end of a channel drainage run. It is particularly useful where the underground drainage pipework can be positioned directly beneath the required outlet location. Planning the outlet beneath the channel can help create a neat and compact surface water drainage layout, especially where extending the channel to reach a separate end connection would be unnecessary.
Channel Drain Bottom Outlet
A
channel drain bottom outlet allows rainwater and surface water collected by the channel to leave vertically through the base of the drainage system. This arrangement can be useful where the most practical drainage route is directly beneath the channel. The outlet position should therefore be established before the channel is permanently bedded or the surrounding paving is completed. The underground drainage connection should be correctly positioned, aligned and supported so that water can discharge freely from the channel into the below-ground drainage system.
110mm Channel Drain Adaptor
The
110mm channel drain adaptor arrangement provides a connection between the channel drainage outlet and compatible 110mm underground drainage pipework. Before installation, check that all components required for the outlet connection are available and compatible with the drainage system being installed. The underground pipework should be positioned accurately beneath the outlet so that the connection can be completed without forcing the channel, adaptor or underground drainage pipe out of alignment.
Low Flow Channel Drain Outlet
This
Low Flow channel drain outlet is intended for use with compatible Polydrain Low Flow channel drainage installations where a vertical discharge point is required. The Polydrain Low Flow system provides a compact channel drainage solution for collecting surface water from domestic and light-use areas where a shallow drainage channel is preferable. A bottom outlet can be particularly useful where the underground drainage route already passes beneath the channel or where an end connection would make the surface drainage layout unnecessarily long.
A15 Channel Drainage Adaptor
The
A15 channel drainage adaptor forms part of the outlet arrangement used with compatible Polydrain A15 Low Flow channel drainage installations. A15 channel drainage is intended for light-duty applications such as pedestrian areas and other appropriate domestic locations rather than heavy commercial or industrial traffic areas. The complete channel drainage system should always be selected and installed according to the expected loading and the requirements of the surrounding surface.
Typical Applications
The Polydrain bottom outlet adaptor can be used in a variety of suitable surface water drainage projects, including:
- Patios
- Garden paving
- Pathways
- Domestic entrances
- Areas around garages
- Courtyards
- Light-duty paved areas
- Channel drainage connected to underground drainage
- Surface water drainage installations
Planning the Bottom Outlet Position
Establish the required outlet location before permanently installing the channel drainage system. The underground drainage pipe should be positioned beneath the selected outlet point and correctly aligned before the channel is fixed in place. Check the finished surface levels and drainage route carefully so that surface water can enter the channel and discharge efficiently through the bottom outlet. Allow sufficient space beneath the channel for the outlet connection and make sure the underground drainage pipework is correctly supported.
Installing the Channel Drain Bottom Outlet
Prepare the surrounding ground and underground drainage connection before completing the channel installation. Fit the required bottom outlet components securely and confirm that the outlet is correctly positioned over the underground drainage connection. The channel should then be installed and supported in accordance with the requirements of the complete drainage system and surrounding finished surface. Check the outlet connection and test the drainage route before completing paving, concrete or other permanent surface finishes around the channel.
Connecting to 110mm Underground Drainage
Where the outlet is being connected towards 110mm underground drainage, make sure the receiving pipe is correctly positioned and supported before making the final connection. The outlet arrangement should not be used to compensate for badly aligned underground pipework. Correct the pipe position first so the connection can be made without placing unnecessary strain on the channel or adaptor. Check that the finished underground drainage route provides an appropriate path for the collected surface water before completing the surrounding backfill.
Supporting the Channel Drainage Installation
The bottom outlet adaptor is only one part of the complete surface water drainage installation. The surrounding channel and underground drainage pipework must also be correctly supported. The channel should remain level and correctly positioned while the surrounding bedding and finished surface are completed. Avoid allowing debris, mortar or other installation material to enter the outlet or underground drainage connection during construction.
Polydrain A15 Low Flow Channel Drainage
The
Polydrain LCDBO bottom outlet adaptor is designed for use as part of a compatible Polydrain Low Flow channel drainage installation where a downward outlet is required. The Low Flow range provides a compact solution for collecting and directing surface water in suitable domestic and light-duty locations. Using the correct outlet and adaptor components helps create a complete drainage route from the channel through to the underground drainage system.
Choosing the Correct Channel Drain Outlet
Before ordering, consider whether the installation requires a bottom outlet or an end outlet. A bottom outlet is normally preferred where the underground drainage pipe can be positioned directly beneath the channel. An end outlet may be more appropriate where the underground drainage connection is located beyond the end of the channel run. Planning the outlet location before installation can reduce unnecessary fittings and make the finished drainage system easier to install and maintain.
