Alusthetic PVC Threshold Drain With Corten Steel Grating Corner Connector

The Alusthetic Threshold Drain Corner Unit in Corten Steel is designed to be installed with the Alusthetic Threshold Drain and Grate in Corten Steel. When connected to the rest of your Alusthetic drainage channel system, this corner connector allows the system to make right-angled turns to move around corners.

Use an Alusthetic bottom connector to connect this corner unit to the rest of your drainage channel, and fix (or “glue”) it securely using a PVC solvent weld. This corner unit has a channel manufactured from extruded PVC and a grating made from corten steel. In corten steel, the Alusthetic drainage channel boasts a visually striking, bright orange grating while remaining corrosion-resistant.

Your corten steel may arrive looking black – it just needs some time to age into its surroundings. During this initial ageing process (which can last around 2 weeks), the natural corten effect might seep into nearby materials, especially porous ones, staining them with a brown or orange colour.

Corner units are also available with other grating materials for different use cases:

• Anodised aluminium - lightweight yet durable, this cost-effective grating allows for easier maintenance. Available in black or silver.
• Stainless Steel Grade 316 - is chlorine resistant and is designed to be installed in chlorine-rich internal or external environments such as near swimming pools and around hot tubs.

Like the rest of the drainage system, the corner units (and T pieces) are all available with the same heel guard™ gratings, which are essential in the pedestrian environments that this collection is aimed for.

Please note: Each section of Alusthetic Threshold Drainage Channel should be connected using a channel connector which will also help to stabilise the channel during installation. Ends should be capped off using an end cap or outlet. We recommend using a PVC solvent weld to fuse your channels and connectors together. Although not essential (as your system will be slotted together using channel connectors), it can be useful to plug any gaps and ensure your channels are one seamless length of leak proof, water tight PVC.
