Rectangular Hopper & Grid | UG428 is a purpose-built sewer fitting designed to improve surface and sub-surface drainage performance in Irish conditions. The UG428 combines a shaped hopper with a secure grid to manage stormwater, prevent debris ingress and help maintain consistent flow into the sewer network. Key features: Robust, corrosion-resistant construction for long-term performance in wet and coastal environments Rectangular hopper profile to guide runoff efficiently into chambers and culverts Secure grid design reduces blockages from leaves, litter and coarse debris Compact form suited to confined spaces and retrofit installations Low-maintenance configuration for easier access during cleaning and inspection Main benefits: Reduces routine maintenance by limiting debris entry and simplifying clearance Improves drainage reliability during heavy rain events common in Ireland Protects downstream assets and helps prevent local flooding and surcharge Durable build lowers life-cycle costs for council, contractor and developer projects Versatile use across new builds, refurbishments and utility upgrades Typical applications: Municipal and local authority sewer and stormwater systems Roadworks, footpaths and public realm drainage Commercial and industrial site drainage installations Housing developments, estates and apartment blocks Manhole, chamber and culvert inlet protection Installation and maintenance notes: fit UG428 in accordance with site-specific drawings and standard drainage practice. Regular inspection during leaf-fall and after storm events will ensure continued performance and extend service life.
