Slot Drain Pipe
Specifications Providing an unprecedented 11.5 square inches of water inlet area with 8 rows of slots in every valley, this perforation style allows for maximum water inlet. Duraslot is made from dual-wall corrugated polyethylene pipe with an aluminum slot mounted on top of 4' - 36' (10.16cm - 91.44cm) N-12 pipe. Typical applications include roadways, sidewalks, parking lots, plazas, loading docks, industrial floors, parks and athletic fields.Taller slots are available on special order. Advanced Drainage Systems® Bend-a-Drain™ pipes allow you to expand the pipe lengthwise and adjust it into the desired angular position. Suitable for use in above and below ground downspout drainage, low spot drainage, and in french drain applications.
Slotted Drain Pipe is a practical, aesthetically pleasing drainage inlet product for the efficient removal of surface water and sheet flow on streets and highways. It also is widely used in parking lots and similar locations to remove sheet flow without complex multiple grades, catch basins, or water channeling devices.
Slotted Drain Pipe is fabricated by welding a narrow section of grating in a continuous slot cut in the top of a corrugated steel pipe. A trapezoidal or straight-sided grate with reinforcing spacer plates is welded in place to form a 1 3/4″-wide slot opening which collects runoff and channels it to the pipe below to form a continuous grate inlet.
