See page 3 for instructions on
using the optional Extension
Channel.
Choose the location where the
Drainagemaster is to be installed and
check for buried services. Ensure it is
to be located where pooling water
will be able to ow o the road and
through the channel i.e. by a gully, at
a lower part of the road.
Position the Drainagemaster where it
is to be installed and mark the width
and length using the pegs provided
(see gure A).
Put the Drainagemaster to one side
and dig a channel for the grip to lay
in, approximately 70mm deep. Add a
slight downward gradient for
optimum performance.
Position the Drainagemaster into the
prepared channel and ensure it lays
at (if it doesn’t feel secure remove
and replace soil as required). For areas
of very hard soil we recommend
using sand to ensure a level
installation.
Ensure front of the Drainagemaster is
located up to the edge of the road
ensuring no soil is left between. Also
ensure the channel is slightly lower
than the roads edge. Use a spirit level
to check the Drainagemaster is on a
downward gradient (see gure B).

Using a rubber hammer insert all
the pegs provided into 6 of the
dedicated holes in the
Drainagemaster. If a rock is located
beneath the surface simply put the
peg into a dierent hole.

Backll each side of the
Drainagemaster with soil to secure
it further and to allow for grass
growth and a neat nish.
To ensure optimum performance
of your Drainagemaster, Glasdon
would strongly recommend the
use of cold bitumen to create a seal
between the road edge and the
Drainagemaster.
For best results mix the bitumen
with sand, pour into the gap and
allow to set.

For verges wider than 900mm we
recommend the use of the Extension
Channel to channel water from the road
into a nearby gully.
The length of the Extension Channel can
be adjusted by sliding it beneath the grip,
see Figure G.

The ground beneath the
Extension Channel can be
shaped in order to create a‘U’
section to help water ow if
required.
[We recommend installing a
Vergemaster next to the grip
for ease of maintenance as it
allows the grip to be quickly
and easily located.]
