Street inlets - the invisible heroes of our roads
What happens to rainwater on the streets? It is the street inlets that play a key role in draining it! These inconspicuous elements of urban infrastructure are like sentinels, protecting our roads from flooding and ensuring the safety of drivers . Let me introduce you to the fascinating world of street inlets.
Types of Street Inlets - Each Has Its Superpower
Our offer includes a real wealth of street inlets. Are you wondering which one will be best for your project? It depends on the location and traffic intensity! We have DN 100 plastic rain inlets for lighter applications, but also powerful WKJ H220 and H250 cast iron curb and roadway inlets of class D400, which will withstand up to 40 tons of pressure!
In my experience, "Sferus" H115 cast iron inlets are real tough guys. It's like the armored cars of inlets - durable, corrosion-resistant and ready to face even the most demanding road conditions . And if you need something for less busy places, I recommend the H115 and H150 sewage inlets. It's like an economical business class - solid, but you don't overpay for unnecessary parameters.
Collars, grates and sediment baskets - details that make the difference
Do you know what's best about our inlets? The variety of additional elements! We have 3/4 and 4/4 flanges, tilting and locking grates, and even D1 type sediment baskets. Imagine that you can create a water drainage system perfectly suited to the needs of a specific street!
From my own experience, I recommend paying special attention to the type of grate when choosing an inlet. This is a key element that determines not only the effectiveness of water drainage, but also the safety of pedestrians and cyclists . Think of it as shoes - a seemingly small element, but crucial for comfort and safety when walking.
Brands you can trust
In the world of street inlets, a few brands really stand out. Kaczmarek is a Polish giant that proves that domestic products can compete with the best in the world. Kessel? It is synonymous with German precision and reliability. KZO and Wavin? Each of these companies has its strengths and proven solutions.
