How to install a Yard Drain for Surface water using your French Drain trench #shorts

FULL FRENCH DRAIN VIDEO:

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.

If you want to really get it going use a wye fitting and a 45

Directional tees are meant to only be installed vertically, horizontally they act the same as a normal tee. If you look through the side hole of a directional tee, it’s a straight shot through

We have clay and rocked here in Tennessee now for use of fabric, wood neck block the where the water drains and due time some people say that you’re not supposed to use fabric I like your input

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!

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

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!
