Inlet Intake
General
Information for Installation Practices
Installation for all Hickenbottoms Inlets should be in
accordance with specs. For corrugated P.E. piping, such as ASTM F-405 and
In
general terms of back filling the inlet, we would recommend at very shallow
depths of less than 24 to bed tee and under ground portion of inlet with an
aggregate of ½ up to 1 ½ stone or (limey chips). In all normal conditions of depths over 24
and up to 72 of depth, the spoil from the trench can be used if the size of
material is smaller then 2 in diameter.
It is moist and pliable so as to be able to compact the soil properly
around the pipe.
In
conditions deeper than 72, the inlet should be back filled with the above-described
aggregate and should be filled around the vertical portion of the inlet with
approximately 12 of aggregate around the pipe to the surface.
To
help alleviate the problem of the vertical portion of the inlet being tipped
over during the back filling process, we recommend filling around the inlet and
tamping soil in a mounding fashion then tapering the slope down away from the
inlet to the bottom of the trench.
If
you have any further questions about installation, please call the general
office at 800-443-7879.

5 Intake
Description and Use
1. The (intake bell) fits inside SDR.35-6 spigot, fairly well.
2. 5 (tile bell) fits over 4 bell end of SDR.26 and SDR.21 and Sch 40, fair to loose.
3. 5 (tile bell) fits inside 6 bell end of SDR. 35 very well.
4. 5 (tile bell) fits on 5 spigot end of Sch 40, SDR.21 and SDR.26 fairly well.
5. 5 (intake bell) will fit 5 Fernco plastic adapter.
6. 5 (tile bell) will fit 6 Fernco plastic adapter.
7. You can use a Hancor 5x4 reducer which will snap directly into (tile bell) end of tee and snap over 4 tile to be used. Product #FC-R04-05
8. You can use an A.D.S. 5x4 external reducer but will have to use a piece of 5 tile to connect the reducer and tee. Product #0514AA
9. You can use a Hickenbottom 5x4 reducer but will also need a piece of 5 tile to connect the reducer to the tee. Product #HBI-504
10. PCX 56-64 (Fernco) will fit over bell of tee and connect it to 4 PVC pipe.
We have all the
adapters described above available for your convenience.
1. 5 stack bell or spigot end will fit 5 Fernco plastic adapter fairly well.
2. You can use a 5 Internal Coupler in the spigot end of stack to connect to 5 tile or to repair an existing 5 intake. (Also a A.D.S. 6x5 internal reducer will work to connect to 6 field tile.) Product #0526AA
Please refer to CFS chart for further flow capacities.
HBI-5510 Section contains 24 each 1 holes per foot and is used in standard conditions with 4 and 5 and sometimes 6 tile where the flow of a 6 intake is not needed. (Refer to CFS chart for flow capacities and tile drainage chart or contact your local Soil Conservation Office.)

HBI-55SL A 5 x 1 holed section with 3 each 1 x 4 slots per foot. It is used to provide more flow than a 5 x 1 section can provide and where a 6 x 1 section is too much. It can also be used in conjunction with a 5 restrictor to help eliminate trash build up due to possible restriction of the 1 holes.
HBI-5FSL A 5 x 1 holed section with the top half fully slotted. This was designed to provide maximum flow for the upper half of the inlet without having to use a wire trash rack or Bar Guard. The lower half has 1 holes to provide the standard flow release for remaining water in the terrace.

4. You can also use Hancors 6 x 5 reducer, Product #FC-R05-06, or their 6 x 4 reducer Product #FC-R04-06, both will fit directly into our intake tee bell.
5. You can use most other 6 reducers made but may have to use a piece of 6 field tile to connect the tee to the tile.
1. The spigot of the 6 stack will fit all 6 SDR.35 bell end fittings.
2. The 6 stack bell will fit inside the 6 Schedule 40 bell but you will have to cut off the bell below the rib on the bell in order to get the 6 Schedule 40 bell to go over the 6 stack bell.
3. The 6 stack spigot fits the Fernco plastic adapter.
