Mitered Drain eliminates the standing water that occurs in the bottom of typical drop inlets. This is critical in areas where mosquito abatement is of concern. Mitered Drain is great for use as both an inlet and outlet for detention ponds, culverts, downspouts and numerous other applications. It also allows for maximization of use of bioswales for onsite water treatment. The useable area of the grate opening on Mitered Drain exceeds the cross sectional area of the pipe. Because it is mitered, or angled, it uses the full flow capacity of the pipe. In addition, the unique design reduces the chance of debris clogging the grate while preventing debris and animals from entering the pipe. Grates can be removed for maintenance.
Perfect for use in areas where lack of grade difference makes layout difficult
Minimizes standing water-critical in areas where mosquito abatement is of concern
Maximizes use of bioswales and reduces runoff into storm drain systems-water stays on the surface longer for natural filtration of contaminants and stormwater absorption into the soil
All mitered drains come with a pipe attached for easy installation using a coupling adapter
Much better than a pop-up or bubble-up system; no drywells to dig, no parts to freeze in winter, no stagnant water in the pipe
