1. What is the purpose of the safety message integrated into the fabric?
The inclusion of a highly visible safety message, such as ‘Safety Is Everyone’s Business’, serves two crucial functions. It visually reinforces the presence of the required containment measure and, more importantly, transforms the diverter into an active safety warning, clearly defining the hazard zone for all staff and visitors in compliance with site safety protocols.
2. Are additional items required to achieve a fully operational leak management system?
Yes, for complete functionality, a drainage hose is essential to channel the collected water away from the area to a suitable reservoir or drain. The diverter provides a standard 0.75-inch outlet for connection, and we stock a range of compatible drainage hoses and collection containers which must be purchased separately.
3. What level of water flow can the diverter efficiently handle?
The diverter is designed for high-efficiency operation, providing a substantial, tested flow rate of 12.6 litres per minute when correctly paired with a half-inch internal diameter hose. This high capacity guarantees rapid water removal, which is paramount for mitigating potential pooling and subsequent floor damage.
4. What features contribute to the unit’s durability for long-term deployment?
The longevity of the unit stems from its robust material specification: a 13-ounce, nonpermeable PVC/Polyester composite with a high-strength vinyl coating. This construction ensures the diverter is highly resilient against common environmental stressors such as abrasion, UV damage from skylights, and the onset of mildew.
5. How is the diverter securely mounted beneath the leak source?
The unit features eight heavy-duty grommets/D-rings situated around the perimeter, including on the pinched corners. To mount, personnel should simply attach appropriate, approved hanging straps (which we stock separately) to these rings and suspend the tarp so the leak is centred over the collection area.
