Description
- Drainage Channels are designed with a built in fall and a range of edge profiles to accommodate all types of floor finishes. Anchors and leveling bolts are provided to ease installations. Lengths are only limited.
- The excellent smooth surface finish of Stainless Steel provides a self cleaning velocity for liquids at very shallow gradients. The self cleansing velocity is 0.75 m/s. Velocities below the figure require manual flushing.
- Widths of channels will depend on the splash area below discharge equipment or appliance and should be a minimum of 200mm wide overall for wash down installations.
- The discharge of the drainage channel to the flow rate capacity of the outlet gully.
- Discharge capacities of both channel and gully will be reduced when conveying water borne solids. Typical gradients are 1% (1:100) for liquid waste 2% (1.50) for water borne solids.
- The channel edge details will depend on the floor finish, examples being tile, resin or vinyl. Channels can be designed to provide vinyl one side and resin or tile on the other side.
- For applications where heavy loads and / or thermal shock are anticipated, an expansion frame around the perimeter is recommended.
- The expansion frame is supplied factory tack welded to all profiles.
