What is a storm drain inlet?

Storm drain inlets are the opening that allows stormwater to flow into a storm drainage system. There are a few main types of inlets including:

• Curb opening inlets: Vertical openings in the curb covered by a top slab
• Grate Inlets: Consists of an opening in the gutter or ditch covered by a grate
• Combination: Includes both a curb-opening inlet and a grate inlet placed in a side-by-side configuration
• Slotted Drains: Corrugated pipe with extended slot, or throat at the top

A Universal Solution

The Universal Inline Drain comes with a six-inch hole to handle common grate inlet flows through an open 12" grill. It can be installed four times faster than traditional concrete drains and will never need mortar or sealant. Its flexible design can be easily adapted to various grate types and pipe sizes – up to 12” diameter.

“If you’re working with concrete, it’s harder, tougher to move around. It’s easier to move this stuff [Nyloplast] around. Concrete’s a lot heavier. You have to have chains and strap as to where Nyloplast is lighter, easier to work with and the safety is a lot better,” explained Richard Friend, of Todd Alspaugh & Associates. “The safer the product, the easier it is for everybody to go home at night. Anybody that works with concrete knows it’s a lot longer process.”

Reliable Durability

When compared to traditional inlets made from concrete, the Universal Inline Drain always comes out on top. The Universal Inline Drain is an injection molded PVC part designed to provide a leak-free performance when connecting to various pipe and sizes.  

Brian King, our EVP of Marketing and Sustainability explained, “It became quickly apparent in our discussions with contractors and engineers that a gap existed for a universal inline drain product that was readily available, easy to install and reliable beyond a handful of years.” The Universal Inline Drain boasts a 100-year service life, maintains an H20 load rating, and provides a water-tight connection.
