ways safely for people and harmless for buildings into the drainage
pipe. They are intended for draining public car parks, customer car
parks or company car parks. The owner is always solely responsible
for the planning and dimensioning of the ACO Self®Europoint, inclu-
ding the required load class.
Other installation and utilisation possibilities as well as alterations are
prohibited..
