How to seal patio drainage grate?

I have core drilled drainage holes in the top of my patio concrete floor to accomodate Holman 150x150 drainage gates. I’ve recessed the grate into the floor to make it flush with the floor. How do I seal/adhere the bottom of the grate to the concrete recess. What product to use. I have a waterproof sealant to finish off any gaps left between the sides of the grate and concrete.

Re: drainage grate sealing

Hi @neal,

 

What area are you in?

 

I can have a look at alternative options in your area. I'm sure there will be a patching mortar product that is similar.

Darling downs WA I thought there would be a ready made cement thingy but if I have to mix up a simple mortar that I’d use between limestone blocks that might be the easier thing to do. Maybe ?

Re: drainage grate sealing

Hi @neal,

 

Either Westbuild Fast Setting Mortar or Westbuild Kwikcrete Fast Setting Plumbing And Repair Mortar would be suitable and they are available at the Armadale store.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions.
