General installation information

1. Check with your relevant Health Department before starting to lay Polytrench. On a level contour excavate a trench to the required length, 1,200mm wide and to the required depth below the end of the septic tank outlet pipe. Ensure that the trench bottom is level.
2. Lay the interconnecting units centrally in the excavation (fit moulded end caps to the end of each run).
3. Connect the tank outlet pipe into the top of the first piece of Polytrench.
4. Backfill with 40mm aggregate to the top of the Polytrench ensuring that there are 300mm of aggregate on either side of the units.
5. Cover the aggregate and the Polytrench with trench fabric/geotextile.
6. Backfill with suitable material.
