Floor/ground drain Kessel Alrondo 200x200, model 37287S by Kessel

The Kessel Alrondo 200x200 floor/ground drain (model 37287S) is a surface drainage fitting intended for external paved areas and other outdoor surfaces. It is designed to collect stormwater and surface runoff efficiently, featuring a 200 x 200 mm grate opening and engineered connection options for integration into standard drainage systems. The product is suitable for locations such as driveways, courtyards and pedestrian zones where durable, reliable water collection and discharge are required.

Advantages

The Kessel Alrondo 200x200 combines a wide grate opening with Kessel engineering quality to ensure effective capture of rainwater and surface flow. Its robust construction provides resistance to weathering and mechanical stress typical for external installations. The product's design allows straightforward connection to underground drainage pipes and supports maintenance access for cleaning and inspection.

Suitable for

• Driveways and vehicle access areas
• Courtyards and residential paved surfaces
• Pedestrian zones and walkways
• Landscaped and hardscaped outdoor areas requiring surface water removal

When it may not be suitable

This floor drain is intended for surface runoff and stormwater capture on paved or compacted substrates; it is not designed for connection to systems carrying wastewater or sewage. It may not be suitable where extremely heavy wheel loads occur unless additional load-bearing measures or a drain rated for heavy traffic are specified. For applications requiring filtration of fine sediments or oil separation, dedicated treatment units should be installed upstream.

Key specifications

• Grate opening size: 200 x 200 mm
• Application: external surface drainage for paved areas
• Material: corrosion-resistant construction suitable for outdoor use
• Connection: standard drainage pipe interface for stormwater systems
• Intended load conditions: suitable for pedestrian and typical driveway loads; verify load class for heavy vehicle areas

How to use

Install the drain level with the finished surface so the grate sits flush with paving or pavement. Connect the outlet to the stormwater drainage network using compatible pipework and seals, ensuring proper slope for gravity flow. After installation, periodically remove the grate and clear accumulated debris to maintain drainage performance. Follow local building codes and installation instructions for bedding, backfill and load requirements to ensure long-term function.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required grate size and load class for your location
• Ensure compatibility with existing drainage pipe diameters and connection type
• Check whether additional sediment traps or oil separators are needed upstream
• Verify local regulations regarding outdoor drainage and runoff discharge

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, install the Kessel Alrondo 200x200 drain with correct bedding and connection to a properly graded drainage system, and schedule regular inspections and cleaning to prevent clogging and ensure uninterrupted water flow.
