Modern drainage systems often require the creation of numerous, often very complicated pipe connections. Easy and quick installation without the use of specialized tools or cutting holes, as well as durable and tight connection of drainage pipes are possible thanks to modern drainage connectors. They are used wherever there is a bend or branch in the system. Are you planning to build, expand or modernize a storm sewage system?

What types of drainage fittings are there?
The most common types of drainage fittings are:
- drainage tees,
- drainage knees,
- drainage muffs,
- drainage plugs,
- drainage crossings,
- drainage reductions,
- drainage fittings,
- end storm drainage gate valves.
The type of product determines its purpose (function). Drainage connectors available on the market also differ in terms of material. Connectors made of plastics, especially PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PP (polypropylene), work perfectly in drainage installations. Polyvinyl chloride is a durable material, resistant to water and other external factors.
Polypropylene is resistant to aggressive chemical compounds, including: in plant protection products. At the same time, it is safe for the environment. The unique properties of the plastics used, supported by innovative production technologies, translate into durability, safety and long-term, reliable, automatic operation of the drainage system. Not only drainage fittings but also drainage pipes are made of PVC and PP.
The difference between drainage fittings is also in size. Individual variants of fittings are used to connect drainage pipes with diameters from approx. 70 mm to approx. 100 mm, depending on the manufacturer and model. Therefore, when choosing a drainage connector, be sure to pay attention to which pipe it fits.
How to properly install drainage connectors?
The exact method of installing drainage fittings will depend on the system selected by the installer. One of the most popular solutions on the Polish market is a universal system of connectors for drainage pipes, developed and patented by Zakłady Karmat. It allows you to connect pipes with diameters ranging from 72 to 100 mm.
Drainage pipes are connected extremely easily and quickly - without the need to cut holes in them or lubricate the elements. The tightness and durability of the obtained connections are confirmed by tests. Installation of the band drainage system involves cutting the drainage pipe and inserting it into the connector until it clicks into place. This process is described in detail on the manufacturer's website.
