Raise drain strainer...

[GreatLantern81]

Hello!

I am installing decking and I want to raise the "renstratten" about 40 cm so that it comes above my deck instead of underneath if it needs cleaning. How do I raise this?

Thanks in advance!

Is it a 110mm ground pipe that the cleanout funnel is mounted in?

if it fits in a 110mm sewer pipe, a coupling sleeve + a piece of pipe is needed
a picture would have made it easier

It's probably just sitting in a regular 110 mm ground drainage pipe? Buy a short pipe section (unfortunately, the orange pipes usually don't come in short lengths, at least 2 m, so either a gray pipe or you'll get a long leftover piece) and move the cleaning funnel up, and cut the downpipe to the new length.

It just fits into a standard 110 mm ground pipe, right? Buy a short pipe piece (unfortunately the orange pipes usually aren't available in short lengths, at least 2 m, so either a gray pipe or you'll get a long leftover piece) and move the cleaning trap up, then cut the downpipe to the new length.

So, a downpipe that I cut and insert into the ground pipe at the desired length and then a coupling to the cleaning trap, if I understand correctly? Thanks for the quick help!

Thank you for the quick help!

No, a piece of ground drainage pipe and possibly a coupling, so you get the leaf guard at the desired height. And then you can cut the existing metal downpipe so it's the right height.

This assumes that your downpipe is built normally, i.e., the leaf guard is at the bottom and connects to a 110 mm plastic ground drainage pipe.

No, a piece of underground drainage pipe and possibly a coupling, so you can raise the inspection trap to the desired height. And then you'll need to cut the existing metal downspout so it's the right height.

This assumes your downspout is normally constructed, i.e., the inspection trap is at the bottom and connects to a 110 mm underground drainage pipe made of plastic.

Ok, I understand now.
Thank you once again!!

Ok, I understand.
Once again, thank you!!

And I'm doubtful if a separate sleeve is even necessary.
Usually, the ground drainpipe ends upwards (where the cleaning funnel is located) simply as a cut-off so-called smooth end (no sleeve), so if you want to extend that pipe say 40 cm upwards, it should be enough to buy a regular 110 mm pipe piece that has a sleeve on one end, turn that sleeve downwards to attach it to the existing smooth end, and then cut the new pipe at the top to the appropriate height to get a new smooth end to attach the cleaning funnel to.

Sure, it's not "correct" to turn the sleeve end "downstream" in the flow, but a joint sleeve or simple sleeve end shouldn't make any technical difference. And you'll save money.
