Inlets are important elements of sewage installations. They allow sewage to be drained from floors and other surfaces, protecting them from flooding and water accumulation. In bathrooms, they provide great design possibilities - they facilitate the implementation of minimalist designs and getting rid of the shower tray. An example of such products are yard inlets. When is it worth using them? In which brands is it worth looking for high-quality inlets?

What makes the ACO yard inlet unique?
Yard drains are designed to drain rainwater and other sewage from horizontal surfaces outside buildings. Their use is recommended primarily on properties with hardened surfaces - e.g. paved yards and driveways, parking lots or communication routes. Yard drains can take the form of point or linear drainage - depending on the specifics of the area and installation possibilities.
An extensive range of yard inlets can be found in the offer of the ACO brand – one of the leaders in the drainage industry. The ACO Self system is an advanced, modular technology that allows the installation of many drains within a single channel. It consists of channels and grates available in several variants, which can be freely combined, adapting them to factors such as surface load or terrain conditions.
ACO Self offers two types of troughs. The first is made of polymer concrete, which makes them highly resistant to loads. The specially designed V-shaped cross-section facilitates water flow and self-cleaning of the trough. The second type includes plastic troughs. Their low weight makes them easier to transport and install, and also reduces the price. Their use is recommended in places such as terraces, patios or pedestrian paths. Plastic troughs will also work well in front of the entrance to the building, along the driveway and at the entrance to the garage.
The ACO Self system offers several types of grates, differing in appearance and utility properties. Among them, you will find, among others, the cast iron Voronoi grate. Its unique appearance makes it perfectly match the original architecture and contributed to winning the prestigious Red Dot award. The Microgrip model is also worthy of attention. It is made of polypropylene using Microgrip® technology. Thanks to its rough structure and numerous small projections, it ensures user safety even in humid conditions and effectively prevents slipping. In addition, the ACO offer includes cast iron grates and grates made of stainless or galvanized steel with ladder or grid systems, as well as slotted variants.
Application of ACO yard inlets
The wide variety of individual components of the ACO Self system means that it can be used in many places with different specifications. Depending on the selection of the grid and channel, it can be used on terraces, driveways, sidewalks or garden sheds. The ACO Self yard drain is intended primarily for home use.
