Description
Polydrain LFEC Low Flow End Cap for Channel Drainage
The
Polydrain LFEC Low Flow end cap is a genuine accessory designed to neatly close the end of a compatible Polydrain Low Flow channel drainage run. This
Low Flow channel drain end cap is used where the channel needs to terminate without allowing surface water to discharge through that end. The
Polydrain channel drain end cap is designed for the compact 50mm Low Flow system and provides a practical finishing component for suitable domestic and light-duty installations. As an
A15 channel drainage end cap accessory, it is intended for use with the compatible A15 Low Flow channel system, while the
50mm channel drain end cap terminology refers to the shallow 50mm channel profile.

Polydrain LFEC Low Flow End Cap
The
Polydrain LFEC Low Flow end cap forms part of the Polydrain Low Flow channel drainage accessory range and is designed specifically to close an open end of the channel. It provides a simple and neat termination point while ensuring collected surface water remains within the channel and travels towards the selected outlet position elsewhere in the drainage run.
Low Flow Channel Drain End Cap
The
Low Flow channel drain end cap should be used where the end of the drainage channel needs to be completely closed. If water instead needs to discharge through the end of the channel, the separate Polydrain LFECO End Cap Outlet should be used rather than the plain LFEC closing cap. Planning which end of the channel needs to be closed and where the drainage outlet will be located before installation helps create a simpler and more effective surface water drainage layout.
Polydrain Channel Drain End Cap
The
Polydrain channel drain end cap is designed to fit the manufacturer’s compatible Low Flow channel drainage system. Using the correct dedicated accessory helps complete the channel installation neatly rather than attempting to close the channel using improvised materials or unsuitable fittings.
A15 Channel Drainage End Cap
The
A15 channel drainage end cap is intended for use with the compatible Polydrain Low Flow channel system, which is designed for appropriate light-duty drainage applications. The A15 classification relates to the correctly installed compatible channel drainage system rather than representing an independent load rating for the LFEC accessory itself. Always make sure the complete channel, grate, bedding and surrounding surface are suitable for the expected use of the installation.
50mm Channel Drain End Cap
The
50mm channel drain end cap is designed for Polydrain’s shallow Low Flow channel drainage range, which uses a compact 50mm-deep channel profile. The shallow format makes the system particularly useful where installation depth is limited while still providing a dedicated route for collecting and directing surface water. The 50mm measurement refers to the depth of the compatible Low Flow channel and should not be confused with a 50mm drainage pipe connection.
Typical Applications
The LFEC end cap can be used within suitable Polydrain Low Flow channel drainage installations around areas such as:
- Patios
- Garden paths
- Paved areas
- Domestic entrances
- Courtyards
- Areas around garages
- Pedestrian areas
- Light-duty surface water drainage installations
End Cap or End Cap Outlet?
The LFEC is the plain closing end cap. Its purpose is to terminate the channel and prevent water from leaving through that end. The separate LFECO is an end cap outlet and should be selected where collected surface water needs to discharge from the end of the channel drainage run. Choosing the correct accessory before installation avoids unnecessary alterations once the channel has been bedded and the surrounding paving has been completed.
Installing the Low Flow End Cap
Fit the LFEC to the required closed end of the compatible Low Flow channel before completing the surrounding finished surface. Make sure the end cap is correctly positioned and that the channel remains properly aligned and supported throughout installation. Check that the complete channel drainage run has a suitable outlet elsewhere in the system before permanently completing the surrounding paving, concrete or other surface finish.
Planning the Channel Drainage Run
Before installing the channel system, establish where surface water will enter the channel and how it will discharge into the onward drainage system. Any end of the run that does not contain an outlet should be correctly closed using the appropriate end cap. Correct planning also helps determine whether a plain LFEC end cap, LFECO end outlet or bottom outlet arrangement is required at each point in the system.
Supporting the Low Flow Channel
The end cap is only one component of the complete drainage installation. The surrounding channel should be correctly supported and installed according to the requirements of the finished surface and intended use. Keep the inside of the channel clear of construction debris, mortar and other materials while the surrounding paving or bedding is completed.

The
Polydrain LFEC Low Flow end cap forms part of the Polydrain Low Flow range of channels and accessories for collecting surface water in suitable domestic and light-duty locations.
