Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between U250 and U200 channels?
The U250 offers a wider 250 mm inner width compared with the U200, providing increased water collection capacity for larger paved areas. The choice between the two depends on the expected water volume and catchment area of your specific project.
Is the U250 suitable for municipal street drainage?
Yes. The U250 is specifically designed for municipal and urban street drainage applications. It is available with load class ratings appropriate for roadway use and provides reliable long-term performance in demanding outdoor environments.
Can the U250 channel be customised with different grating materials?
Yes. The U250 system is available with BMC composite, galvanised steel, stainless steel and ductile iron gratings. Each material offers different load capacities and aesthetic characteristics to suit specific project requirements.
