The right cover

Drains, covers and upper sections must be installed in

such a way that they are able to cope with potential

loads at the place of installation. The two standards

EN 1253-1 (Gullies for buildings) and EN 124 (Gully tops

and manhole tops for vehicular and pedestrian areas).

In cases of doubt, the higher class must always be chosen.

Covers and upper sections to EN 1253-1

The right material

Drains are offered in a range of different

materials. Which material is used depends

on the requirements set by the type of

wastewater to be discharged.

Polymer (PP or ABS)

Drains made of polymer are generally

characterised by their high impact resistance,

light weight and simple design.

Ecoguss

Building drains made of the composite mate-

rial Ecoguss are naturally hygienic and highly

resistant to chemicals on account of the

smooth and corrosion-free surface. Additional

protective coatings are not necessary. Weight

approx. 70 % lower than cast iron drains, no

electrical grounding necessary and suitable

for installation in hot bitumen thanks to

high-temperature resistance properties.

Metal

Classic metal drains are hygienic, heat

resistant and generally load resistant. They

are therefore primarily suitable for extreme

conditions in commercial and industrial

premises.
