How to connect channel drain to downpipe?

KellR

I am hoping for advice on best way to connect channel drain to downpipe. Will need to cut final piece to size and then wanting to enable drain and downpipe to flow into stormwater. Struggling to get a plumber and the rains are here. Any guidance is appreciated.

Hello @KellR 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about connecting your down pipe to the channel drain. 

To prevent the water from splashing onto the channel drain, I suggest putting in a Holman 90mm 90° Female And Female PVC Stormwater Elbow and sitting it into the channel drain. You'll need to trim the channel drains cover top to allow the pipe to pass through and sit inside of it. 

Another option is to install a drain pit to catch the fall from the down pipe and let it drain out the channel drain.

If you need further assistance, please let me know.
