Slot Drain - Stupid Question

    Hi

    Stupid Question: How do I put together these slots drains and corner unit, where the corner unit acts as an access unit.

    Background: I have approx a 10m stretch of patio that I want to put a slot drain in and access at the end. The landscape company that I bought from only supplies the slot drain and a corner unit. They said it’s all I need. I feel like a bit of a fool but I’m struggling to figure out what’s the best way to put it together.

    Please see pics.

    So if I knock out a bottom hole at the end of the run; then connect the corner unit - would it not be very difficult to clear if it got blocked.

    It would be easier if the corner unit had a bottom section to cut out.

    Anyway - it’s a stupid question I know…would appreciate it.

    If you look closely at each end there are small slots where one end slides down into the slot of the other.

    Thanks. It was more how to use the corner unit as a sump.

    Sorry. I appreciate your help. I know how to put the sections together. It’s how to use it as a sump. There’s only knock out holes on the bottom of the slotted drain and not the corner unit. It seems very awkward to get your hand or other utensil down to clear out any debris.
