Description

The Allproof Industries Perimeter Drain is an 'off the shelf' level threshold product that removes the process of boxing out and measuring. Simply positioning the L-shaped channel around the exterior footing of the building creates a surface to pour the concrete against.

When installed following Allproof documentation the channel provides a 200mm wide x 180mm reveal against the building foundations, this reduces labour-intensive boxing out, multiple concrete pours and post-installing fixings to provide support to the system.

The specially designed grate for this system is NZ made from Glass Filled Polymer (GFP) using, recycled materials and renewable solar energy, UV stabilised and reinforced with glass fibres to provide a durable and superior product.

The GFP grate has been created in a way that it can be trimmed down on site to fit varying widths around the exterior of the building. Other grate options can be made available with custom manufacturing.

Grates are installed using an innovative clip system which is attached to the pre-installed fixing points on the channel wall allowing the grates to simply ‘clip’ into place.

Channels come in a standard one metre length with either two stock grates in 500mm lengths or stainless grates fabricated to best fit the reveal while still being easily removable.

This system has been designed to be fast, efficient and cost-effective removing delays and hold ups towards the end of a project. This trouble-free and easy-to-install product is the future of threshold drainage.

Scope of Use

Allproof Level threshold solutions are designed to allow level entry to the building and be fully compliant with New Zealand standards set out in Building Code E2, External Moisture
Allproof supplies a range of E1-compliant pits and sumps that the Perimeter Drain can be connected to in order to complete the system

Design:

The grate system takes up the varying reveal between joinery overhang and slab
The grates come in a selection of materials including Glass Filed Polymer (GFP), Cast Iron and Stainless Steel that can be used to create consistency with other surface drainage in the same project (Allproof Polymer Concrete)
The grate selection accommodates for a variety of requirements including economy, performance (grate open area), safety (heelproof and slip rating) and customisation (aesthetics).

Limitations on Use

The Perimeter Drain has been designed to use its own unique customisable GFP grate, should consistency with other exterior drainage be desired Allproof can custom manufacture stainless steel Wedge Wire and LAS grates to suit.

The Perimeter Drain system is designed for pedestrian foot traffic at building entrances. Please reach out for information on a solution for vehicle traffic if required.

Installation Requirements:

When installing the system it is best to work from the corners out and to pre-plan the installation understanding the lengths and cuts required.
To achieve an optimum aesthetic finish ensure that the channel runs parallel to the joinery and not the building slab so that grates do not have to be tapered to fit.
See Installation Instructions.

Statement of Building Code Compliance

The perimeter Drain has been designed specifically to be fully E2 compliant.

Allproof Level threshold solutions are designed to allow level entry to the building and be fully compliant with New Zealand standards set out in Building Code E2, External Moisture.

The Perimeter Drain system creates a 200mm wide x 180mm high channel during the external concrete pour as per E2's requirements.

By supplying a 180mm deep channel the installer can create the '1:200 minimum fall along length of the channel towards a drainage outlet' keeping a 150mm deep channel at its shallowest point. Adjustable legs attached to the grate can be set to provide a level entry on the surface.

Allproof supplies a range of E1-compliant pits and sumps to which the Perimeter Drain can be connected to complete the system.

Maintenance requirements:

The grates have been designed to lock into place using the clips, these can easily be removed for maintenance purposes such as cleaning the channel to remove debris as required.
The stainless steel channel edge and grates (if applicable) can be maintained by following our SS maintenance guide, however, this is purely for aesthetics and does not compromise the performance of the system
