Access Junctions, Pipes, Anti-Flood Gullies and Back Traps Overview
Main Elements for Business Drainage
Drainage systems in business properties require a set of dedicated features to manage flow effectively. Components such as access junctions, access pipes, anti-flood gullies and back traps help maintain reliability and long-term function.
Linking the Network
Access junctions provide access for inspection while linking multiple pipes. Installed at planned points, they help to detect blockages and remove them quickly. In large-scale drainage layouts, they reduce the effort needed for system upkeep.
Making Inspection Easier
Access pipes are upright pipes giving direct access into the network. Placed at set intervals, they enable blockages to be cleared without major works. They also serve as overflow points, reducing the risk of wastewater escaping inside commercial buildings.
Protecting Premises from Water
Anti-flood gullies stop surface water from overloading drains. Useful in areas of frequent rainfall, they block backflow and ensure water moving into the system. This lowers potential damage, avoids business downtime, and shields property and staff.
Maintaining One-Way Flow
Back traps provide a barrier that prevents wastewater moving in the wrong direction. Fitted at important locations, they support hygiene, reduce odours, and stop unsanitary conditions.
