Developed by an Engineer

Mitered Drain™ (patent pending) was developed by a civil engineer to provide an innovative, cost effective alternative to conventional drop inlets and catch basins. Because of its sloped grate, Mitered Drain™ can be connected directly to the end of the pipe. This allows for increased swale lengths, longer surface flow, and greater biotreatment and groundwater infilteration. Mitered Drain™ facilitates compliance with new environmental design regulations regarding storm water runoff.

Difficult-To-Drain Locations

Mitered Drain™ is perfect for use in hard to drain areas where lack of grade difference is a problem. Because water flows directly into the pipe, it allows for better drainage in flat areas that need extra slope to achieve proper drainage.

Environmentally Friendly

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. Environmentally sensitive designs encourage additional water runoff created by a development to be detained on the site. Mitered Drain™ is great for use as both an inlet and outlet for detention ponds. It also allows for maximization of use of bioswales for onsite water treatment.

Unique Design

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.

Mitered Drain™ is made in the U.S.A and approved for use in numerous governmental municipalities.

Available in the following sizes:

2:1 slope: 3"
3:1 slope: 3", 4", 6", 8" and 12"
