NDS 420 3 in. Pop-Up Drainage Emitter - Green

Brand: NDS | SKU: 420

Product Overview

The NDS 420 pop-up drainage emitter provides a controlled discharge point at the end of a buried drainage system. Water pressure lifts the green cap when runoff reaches the outlet, allowing collected water to discharge at the surface. As flow drops, the cap closes again, helping keep debris and small animals from entering the drain line during dry weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the emitter open?

Hydrostatic pressure from water moving through the drain line lifts the cap; it closes again as flow diminishes.
