Plumbing from a patio drainage channel to a side inlets of bottle gully

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 4.03 PM

i'm doing a patio and trying to workout the best option for the drainage. I'm thinking of doing 9 feet of drainage channels but I don't know how to filter the water away into the bottle gully. I think they UG50 bottle gullies. I believe the side inlets can take 32mm, 40mm or 50mm a boss adaptor, but even if i got a pipe of one of those sizes to enter the gully, I don't know how to take the water from the drainage channel to say a 40mm pipe because the holes in the drainage channel that you knock through with a hammer is about 90mm and it doesn't look like you can easily fit a pipe underneath those flimsy drainage channels. It would also need to have a 45 degree angle.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi Barnsley. We drill through the bottom of the aco with a core drill if we need a smaller outlet. You can buy a core drill bit at tool station which has a diameter of around 50mm. We usually connect to a 100mm orange pipe and then connect into a separate soakaway for a patio or driveway. However I’m some cases if you have a combined system, you are able to tap into an existing system. Hope this helps! J
