Daylighting is the act of discharging water from the drain pipe onto the surface or into ditches. There are more high quality products for that action on the market than ever before. Here are a few that we have in stock:
RETAINING WALL DRAINS
Designed to hide exposed drain pipes in retaining walls while providing optimum egress of water flow, these beautiful drains are architectural grade, structural retaining components.
For use in large or small residential or commercial settings, the Retaining Wall Drains can also be used on barbecue islands, outdoor kitchens, fire pits & other settings to create a pleasing, continuous wall face.
The Drains are constructed in the USA of durable laser-cut stainless steel with a powder coated faux finish inspired by colors found in natural stone.
They are available in 7 colors & three sizes: 3" x 3" for 3" blocks, 5" x 5" for 7" & 8" tall blocks and 6” x 6" for 6" blocks.
MITERED DRAIN
Mitered Drain™ is perfect for use in areas that are difficult to drain due to the lack of a grade difference. Mitered Drains’ sloped grate allows water to flow directly into the pipe - thus eliminating the drop that is typical in conventional inlets. This direct flow allows for better results in flat areas that need extra slope to achieve proper drainage.
Mitered Drain is ideal for use with culverts, under sidewalks, in planter areas, creeks, swales or any difficult-to-drain location.
POP-UP EMITTERS
NDS brand Pop-Up Emitters act as the discharge point of a drainage system. They open easily to allow water to flow freely from the pipe and away from structural foundations, erosion-prone landscapes and poor drainage areas.
The water is released from the pipe via the Emitter into a water-safe area such as a curbside drainage system.
HOW IT WORKS:
The spring-loaded cap opens with the hydrostatic pressure of water moving through the drain pipe, then closes as the flow diminishes. The special patented design allows the Emitter to open with a negligible amount of pressure.
Since the Emitter is closed during dry weather, debris and wildlife cannot enter the drainage system.
