Installation Instructions

 Note Before You Dig


Prior to installation, have your local utility companies locate and mark the location of existing utilities. Lay
out your drainage system and mark the location of trenches and individual parts to be installed with
marking paint before digging. Carefully remove grass or plants that are located where the trench will be
dug so they can be replanted after installation. Trenches should be dug such that they slope a minimum
of 1% away from your house. Place all excavated dirt on a tarp so that it can be used later to backfill.

To speed up installation, a trenching machine can be used to dig all trenches, especially in areas with
particularly hard soil. NDS drainage products have been designed to be installed in any soil type. Due to
the variety of pipe types and sizes, double check that all pipe connection points are the correct size.
Please follow all installation directions included with the individual parts of your drainage system. To
create watertight connections between products, apply a bead of waterproof silicone to both parts and
connect.

This system requires that the elevation of the Pop-Up Emitter be lower than the elevation of the area
drain or the system will not drain

Step 1: Lay out system, dig trenches and holes


Dig holes and trench for pipe, Flo-Well, and EZ-Drain. Dry fit
(no glue) the entiredrainage system from the Flo-Well to the
pop-up emitter. The Flo-Well and EZ-Drain should be
installed at least 10’ away from any existing structure.
Measure and cut all pipe to necessary lengths. After
completing each step, glue parts together.

Step 2: Install Flo-Well and EZ-Drain


2/3
The Flo-Well should be installed in a low spot in your yard.
Knock out the appropriate holes in the side panels of the
Flo-Well where the EZ-Drain will be installed. Assemble the
Flo-Well using the interlocking side panels. Slide the EZ-
Drain through the hole in the Flo-Well side panel.

TIP: Lay the Flo-Well panels on bricks or other hard


surfaces and use a hammer to knock out the holes in the
side panels.

Step 3: Connect Flo-Well Surface Inlet


Knock out the center hole of the Flo-Well lid. Place the lid
on the Flo-Well side panels then place the Flo-Well Surface
Inlet onto the Flo-Well lid.

Step 4: Install Pop-Up Emitter


Using a Corrugated Pipe Adapter, connect the EZ-Drain to
an elbow with a weep hole. The elbow should be installed
with the weep hole on the horizontal side of the elbow. Slide
the Pop-up Emitter onto the elbow. An additional length of
pipe can be used between the elbow and Pop-Up Emitter to
bring the Pop-up emitter to the surface. The Pop-Up Emitter  
fits on the “bell” or “hub” end of the pipe or a pipe coupler.

TIP: To avoid damaging your Pop-Up Emitter with your lawn


mower, raise the cutting level of the blades or avoid passing
the mower over the Pop-Up Emitter

Step 5: Backfill and Replant


Backfill and replace any grass or plants that were removed.

TIP: DO NOT BACKFILL WITH SOIL WITH HIGH CLAY


CONTENT. Water must be able to easily pass through the
backfilled soil.
