Guide to Access Junctions, Pipes, Anti-Flood Gullies and Back Traps
Core Features in Business Installations
Drainage systems in business properties require a set of specific features to manage flow effectively. Components such as access junctions, access pipes, anti-flood gullies and back traps ensure reliability and long-term function.
Joining Pipework
Access junctions provide access for maintenance while linking multiple pipes. Installed at planned points, they make it easier to find blockages and remove them quickly. In extensive drainage layouts, they streamline the effort needed for system upkeep.
Providing Access for Maintenance
Access pipes are upright pipes giving inspection access into the network. Placed at set intervals, they allow blockages to be cleared without costly excavation. They also serve as emergency outlets, reducing the risk of wastewater overflowing inside commercial buildings.
Protecting Premises from Water
Anti-flood gullies block surface water from overloading drains. Ideal in areas of frequent rainfall, they block backflow and maintain water moving into the system. This minimises potential damage, avoids business downtime, and safeguards property and staff.
Preventing Wastewater Return
Back traps provide a barrier that blocks wastewater moving in the wrong direction. Fitted at critical locations, they support hygiene, control odours, and avoid unsanitary conditions.
