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 trench for drain pipe,5” Pro Series Channel Drain,Flo-
Well, and EZ-Drain. Dry fit (no glue) the entire drainage
system from the 5” Pro Series Channel Drain 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.

TIP: If installing the drain in an existing concrete area, a wet


concrete saw will be required to cut the concrete prior
installation.

Step 2: Install 5" Pro Series Channel Drain


A minimum of 4-inches of concrete should surround the
channel where vehicular traffic will pass over the channel.
Additional concrete and stronger grates are required for
heavier loads. Please follow installation instructions
included with the channel when installing the channel drain.
The 5” Pro Series Channel Drain should be installed a
minimum of 1/4” below the finished grade of the surrounding
surface. Connect the required number of channel sections
together using interlocking end connections. Place the
grates on the channel and screw in place. Installend caps at
the end of the runs as needed.

Step 3: Connect elbow to drain on channel


Determine the way in which the channel drain will be
drained (either via an End Outlet or Bottom Drain) and
connect the appropriate drain pipe. Glue and connect
elbows as needed. Continue drain pipe in direction of where
the Flo-Well will be installed.

Step 4: Install Flo-Well and EZ-Drain


Run drain pipe from other end of Catch Basin to the Flo-
Well. Knock out the appropriate holes in the side panels of
the Flo-Well where the drain pipe and EZ-Drain will be
installed. Assemble the Flo-Well using the interlocking side
panels. Slide the Drain Pipe and EZ-Drain through the holes  
in the Flo-Well side panels.

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 5: Connect Flo-Well Surface Inlet

3/4
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 6: 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 7: 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.
