I am installing this ACO drain in front of my garage door. I need to connect it to this 68mm gutter pipe which goes to an existing soak pit. I Don’t have a lot of room to play with around the pipe and I can’t move/slide it without breaking a lot more concrete. How can I easily connect my ACO drain to the existing pipe? What would be my best solution?

Do you actually need to connect it? Are you anticipating it collecting a lot of water? I put one across the front of my garage, just to catch rain water blown at the face of my garage, to prevent it building up, and running under the door. I simply made the ACO quiet leaky, and that was adequate.

Ideally yes because I also need to install gutters and downpipes for the garage which need to go to the same soak pit. I was planning on using the ACO drain to do so. But if it proves to be too difficult then I my need find an other solution for my downpipes and do as you suggested.
