I'm getting more and more confused so if you can help - yippee!
I bought the 1m lengths of drains (Clark Drain) from B&Q to put in front of my garage. The bit I'm running round in circles about, is the connection from this to a pipe which I need to get to the existing drainage. What type of pipe am I looking for when it states 100mm on the bottom outlet? I wandered round (like a madman) the drainage part of B&Q trying all the pipes but nothing fitted.

Cheers

Hello Keith
If its the black plastic channel this will fit into 110 underground pipe its the brown coloured one comes in 3 or 6 m lengths.the pipe will go about 10mm into the base of the channel.
If the channel is the hard one some sort of concrete same size pipe but will only go into channel a few mm .

thanks, I'll take another look. I thought that I'd tried this one and the fit was very loose!!! But I'll take another look and see how I get on.

I found it was not a good joint like you would find with a connector or bend, so I put some mastic around the joint to seal it , then once the concrete around the channel has got off it is held in position. I did this last year and am just starting to lay the slabs around them now . they still look fine.
