Acow drains - Grates

[digerjones]

I've got some heavy steel 8'' acow drain tops. I would like to use them at home, does anyone know where I can get the bottom bit.
Cheers dylan

Try one, or more builders merchants or drainage suppliers.

probably cheaper to buy a different set unless you need 8" wide as the channels will be expensive

[digerjones]

Yes think your right, I don't really need a aco drain, it's just I've got these tops. Will put them back in the pile.
Thanks all.

i installed some 250mm wide d900 aco about £350 each inc cast iron grate

make a shutter cast some angle iron in then pull the shutter and cast the base job done

[seanandruby]

Put them in the xmas weigh in pile :;):

You'll not get anyone to sell you them separately since they'll be left with extra tops themselves. Giles's idea is a good one, I've seen it done in a few places successfully.
My xmas weight in pile isn't even gonna pay for the diesel to get it there this year ffs.

[digerjones]

Yes giles got the best idea. I will what happens.

[seanandruby]

Why would you cast the sides seperate from the base Giles ???

Chuck the cast tops on ebay and put the money towards a set of Aco Civicdrains! The cast steel tops are £20/ea+VAT to buy!

[digerjones]

Cheers Dave. May do that
