Types of inlets for drainage, selection and installation rules

you have chosen and installed gutters and now can not to worry, that the water from the roof will destroy the foundation of the house or the blind area.Or set on a plot of drainage system to track, concrete tiles and other elements of the device yard longer retains its original appearance.But where will be discharged on the water?

modern storm water drain is the engineering system of canals for drainage and tanks for water collection, whose main goal - to save the house and land from the adverse effects of moisture.Precipitation and melt water coming at gutters in the gullies, and then in the trays.It is, in fact, the usual rectangular container, at least - round, shape.It runs directly from the water drains from the roof, from the gutter on the site or by gravity.

Features

Top Street inlet is covered with steel bars, plastic or cast iron - it protects against ingress of large debris, but will miss the water freely.Qualitative grille must withstand the weight of the vehicle and not to create interference to pedestrians.Avoid hitting the small trash can inside, beefed up design-filter basket.

It is recommended that you periodically removed and cleaned.Storm-water inlets can be connected via a special discharge to the storm water drain by a pipe with a diameter of 75 to 150 mm or be autonomous, for this purpose on each wall, a special marking for the hole.If drainage is a partition-siphon, it will be possible to avoid the musty smell in the area.It also prevents the ingress of debris into the lower part, even if the cart would be full.

iron or plastic?

Today, 2 types of inlets are common - plastic and iron.At the houses adjoining areas usually installed plastic, cast iron is used where the load on the storm sewers is particularly high and, for example, is supposed to walk trucks.

Plastic drain boxes are made from polyethylene, polypropylene or polimerbenona.The use of these materials allows to obtain several advantages:

• Low weight.To establish such a model can be without the use of specialized equipment and even alone.
• resistance to temperature extremes.Plastic rain receivers can be operated from +90 to -40 degrees.
• elasticity and resistance to mechanical stress.Soil Advances such a device is not afraid.
• chemical inertness.The applied plastic does not react with petroleum products, minerals contained in the soil.
• There is a possibility to build up street inlets thereby lowering the pipe storm sewer below the level of soil freezing.

Since plastic rain receivers able to withstand less weight than cast iron, they are placed in the yards of private homes, usually under the pipe drain gutter system, and in pedestrian areas.

on cast iron gullies may account for the weight of up to several tens of tons.They are commonly used by public utilities in the regeneration of roads, industrial and warehouse facilities.

Installation and

location rules on the plot Street inlet is usually installed directly under the drain pipe, in such a way that the jet of water fell from it to the center.It is also possible location in the lowest point of the site, where all the biases intersect.

• When the installation site is selected, the size of a pit is dug Street inlet.
• Its bottom and compacted sand poured on him or melkograviynaya cushion
• 10-15 cm thick. Then, filled with a layer of concrete or cement mortar in which the entire structure is fixed.Installation of street inlets important to align the level of the upper plane.
• Pre on one side of the container is cut a hole corresponding to the diameter of a pipe.It is inserted to discharge stormwater.
• space between the walls and the remaining hole is filled with a solution to a height of about 10 cm in
• Street inlet baffles are installed in the slots, and then between the basket from the top -. Grille.

Do not forget to periodically, once every 2-3 months, and in the rainy season - monthly, clean the basket, and the flooding of the site you are not afraid.
