• DIY Yard Drainage: How...
Anywhere there's a pothole in your yard you want to spec in one of these Inlet basins. Potholes are found money in my business because it's an easy way to collect the bulk water and evacuate it quickly. You just slip in an inline drain. These are directional tees. I love them. Pay attention that you're installing it correctly and you don't install it backwards. When the water goes through that inlet it's going to go down into that tee and then it has a sweeping motion to get it going in the right direction.

As a plumbing engineer the location of the holes aren’t near as important as installing the filter fabric outside of the gravel! Nice job.
5 years ago I searched youtube for diy French drain. Ultimately found French drain man & knew this is what I want. I put in 195 ft exactly to his specs & extremely happy with the results.
If you want to really get it going use a wye fitting and a 45
👍
While you are technically and professionally correct, these short turn sanitary tees don't do much at all in this orientation. All you have to do is look into the side inlet an you can tell how little directional flow is imparted on the stream. And in this case, with the drain inches from the tee, you won't notice any difference. If you really want directional flow influence use a combo, which is a wye and 1/8 bend(old school term for a 45) in one fitting. Given the lack of elevation you have to play with here, you'd probably want to offset it so the combo is also laying at a 45. I.e. your drain would be a few inches off the center line of that tubing. Sanitary tees are really to ease the sharp edge when the tee is vertical and keep drainage from above from entering the side outlet. All that said, you aren't wrong. haha!
Where to buy these blue pipes. All I see is the black one which looks too clumsy
@@bodhitree8760from the guy who made the video they ship
Pleaseeee help me put I need to put 80 foot of this exact material in and I need atleast 6 of those drain pots. How much do you think in material? I can't exceed 1000

What do you do when the bottom of your garden is boggy... but it's on a down slope so can't connect to the drains on the house?
You gonna have to watch our full-length videos to learn more about this.

@@FRENCHDRAINMAN unless there's a video titled what I'm trying to know...then I don't see how that can help even if I had the hours spare to sit through vids which I don't.
Water also always finds a way. Im in az

Noticed that the pipe only has perforations on one side of the pipe and they need to face the right way looks to me like they just connected it and laid how ever they wanted and covered it up out site out of mind

Isn't the directional T supposed to be taped when it is installed? That one shown was not.
We taped it before we buried it. We show the connections in many of the videos. I feel bad because I hold the guys up, but I try not to get in their way too much during a video. When I'm done shooting the video, we go back and tape everything up.
How much water do you think these inlet basins will be able to move? We had four inches of rain comes down within a few hours today. Neighboring homes yards slope toward ours so we catch our rain as well as everyone else’s. We hand dug trenches today to keep the water away from the house. We had a river flowing!
This video, it shows 4 inch grates. And you have to remember they're on a 4 inch pipe. Once you overwhelm the 4" pipe, you're not going to take in any more water than what the 4" pipe can handle. I'd run double 4-inch pipes.
How do you establish the slope for your trench?

What if they get clogged? Blocked by leaves etc

Move the leaves
Im sure a snake would work in an emergency. But if you keep the yard clean...
Your drains look shallow. You aren’t going down 12-18”?

@@FRENCHDRAINMAN could you link one? I’ve been going thru a ton but may have skipped over that part. I already know I’m putting top soil in that I see you leave out. But I’m curious your depth of stone.
This is unusual, potholes dont normally form in yards...

Get out the daisies for the potholes in your lawn.
Huh?
Sending the water right into the neighbor's back yard?

True that. Real Job security. @@Vanguard-gh8ov
Why a set of pipes?
th-cam.com/video/i9HROS4M9yw/w-d-xo.html
Aways put t's in. You can snake them out both ways.
Fair enough. They both have their advantages. We space 20 ft apart, so you just snake at the next inlet.
I guess gravity isn't used in these set ups.
Thank you for commenting and contributing
That’s the wrong conduit those build up with crap

Why? Just fill the hole!

This type of pipe is terrible! Breeds mosquitoes better than any swamp.
