Silt Trap 60, 80 and 100mm for Land Drain Pipe, In-Line, UK Made

Details

In-line land drain silt trap for 60mm, 80mm and 100mm perforated pipe. Hopper catches grit before it packs the run and soakaway — buried in the trench, not a surface gully.

Benefits

• Fits 60mm, 80mm or 100mm land drain pipe.
• How it fits: push a pipe into each end until the pipe ends almost meet in the middle. Lay it level with the hopper facing down.
• Pipe not included. Sold as a single silt trap.
• Grit and sand drop into the hopper instead of clogging the pipe and soakaway. Water keeps flowing through.
• Buried in the trench, not a surface gully. To empty, dig down, lift one pipe out, clear the hopper and push the pipe back.
• Black PETG, made in the UK. For garden land drainage, not foul or soil pipe.
