Rat Stop for Vertical Downpipes
The stainless steel rat stop is a mechanical installation solution for suitable vertical downpipes. The geometry of the component is designed to make it difficult or impossible for rats to climb up. Whether the product fits depends on the pipe diameter, pipe run, and installation situation.
Area of Application and Functional Principle
- Vertical Downpipe: The system is intended for the specified installation position and not generally for every wastewater or rainwater channel.
- Pipe Size: Check the nominal diameter, actual inner diameter, and the available symmetrical or asymmetrical variant.
- Pipe Condition: Deposits, offsets, bends, and existing damage must be considered before selection.
- Material: Observe the specific product information regarding stainless steel quality and intended medium.
Professional Planning and Installation
For installation, a section of the pipe is opened or replaced. Planning and installation should be carried out by a suitable specialist company. After installation, the tightness, free drainage, and correct position must be checked. Local drainage and building regulations must be observed.
Inspection Instead of General Maintenance-Free Operation
A system without moving flaps can reduce maintenance efforts. Nevertheless, blockages, deposits, or impairments cannot be ruled out for every system. The component and the pipe should be checked as part of the usual building and drainage inspections.
Part of a Protection Concept
The rat stop only protects the designated pipe path. Other access points, damaged pipes, or existing infestations may require additional structural measures and professional pest control.
