Patio Drainage

[Smudger1969]

I'm currently preparing the foundations for a new patio and wanted to use a channel drainage system but these solutions only seem to have outlet pipe connectivity from below or the side, what about inlet pipes like the waste pipe from the upstairs shower, gutter from the roof and outlet pipe from the kitchen sink?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

thanks
Darren

Other than making a hole in it you could fit one of these for example http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p99860 (depending on the manufacturer you are using) and then make a hole in that. Normally waste pipes would go into a gully or straight into the ground, that's why you can't find an appropriate product. Also, if you don’t have a trap you may well get smells coming back up though you could use a standard P trap. If you have to make a hole in it obviously you will have to use a plastic grate.

Technically you should not be draining any surface water into the sewers where it did not already do so before.
