Produkt overview
The NDS 420 Pop-Up Drainage Emitter is designed to efficiently divert and release excess water from drainage systems to water-safe areas. This prevents water accumulation near structures, mitigates erosion in landscapes, and improves overall drainage in problem areas. Its patented design allows the emitter to open with minimal water pressure and retract when dry, ensuring a discreet and functional solution.
Nøglefunktioner
- Dual-Size Compatibility: Features a dual-size design compatible with both 3-inch and 4-inch drainage pipes, offering installation flexibility for various drainage system configurations.
- Automatic Pop-Up Mechanism: Incorporates an automatic pop-up mechanism that activates with water flow and retracts when dry, maintaining landscape aesthetics and safety.
- Holdbar konstruktion: Constructed from durable, UV-resistant materials designed to withstand outdoor exposure, lawn mowing, and various weather conditions.
- Integrated Debris Guard: Includes an integrated debris guard that helps prevent animals and large debris from entering the drainage system while in the closed position.
- Spring-Loaded Cap: The spring-loaded cap ensures consistent operation and reliable closure after water discharge, preventing system backup.
- Lav-Profile Design: Sits nearly flush with the ground when closed, minimizing visibility and potential tripping hazards in the landscape.
- Blends with Landscape: Green color scheme helps blend with lawn areas while remaining visible enough to avoid damage during yard maintenance.
- Nem installation: Easy installation with threaded connections ensures secure attachment to existing drainage systems.
Produktkomponenter
The NDS 420 Pop-Up Drainage Emitter consists of a durable green cap, a spring mechanism, and a base designed for connection to standard drainage pipes.

Installationsvejledning
Proper installation of the NDS 420 Pop-Up Drainage Emitter ensures optimal performance and longevity. Follow these steps for a successful setup.
1. Forberedelse af stedet
- Identify Discharge Point: Choose a location away from building foundations, driveways, and other structures where water can safely disperse without causing erosion or pooling.
- Udgravning af grøft: Dig a trench from your drainage pipe system to the chosen discharge point. Ensure the trench has a slight slope (minimum 1/8 inch per foot) to allow for gravity flow.
- Prepare Pipe End: Ensure the end of your 3-inch or 4-inch drainage pipe (e.g., PVC, corrugated pipe) is clean and free of debris.
2. Connecting the Emitter
- Attach Emitter: The NDS 420 emitter is designed for a direct, secure fit onto both 3-inch and 4-inch pipes. For 3-inch pipes, the emitter will fit over the pipe. For 4-inch pipes, the emitter will fit inside the pipe. Apply PVC cement or appropriate adhesive if a permanent, watertight seal is desired, following adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Position Emitter: Place the emitter in the ground so that its top surface is flush or slightly above the surrounding grade. This allows for easy mowing and prevents tripping hazards.
- Tilbagefyldning: Carefully backfill the trench around the emitter and pipe with soil, ensuring the emitter remains level and stable. Compact the soil gently to prevent settling.

Operation
The NDS 420 Pop-Up Drainage Emitter operates automatically based on water pressure within your drainage system.
- When water flows into the drainage pipe and reaches the emitter, the pressure of the water will cause the green cap to pop up, allowing the water to discharge.
- Once the water flow ceases and the pressure subsides, the integrated spring mechanism will retract the cap, returning the emitter to its closed, flush position.
- This automatic action ensures that the emitter is only open when actively discharging water, preventing debris from entering the system and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your landscape.

Opretholdelse
Regular maintenance helps ensure the continued efficient operation of your NDS 420 Pop-Up Drainage Emitter.
- Periodisk eftersyn: Periodically check the emitter for any accumulated debris (leaves, dirt, mulch) around or inside the cap.
- Rensning: If debris is present, gently remove it to ensure the cap can pop up and retract freely. A small brush or gloved hand can be used.
- Funktionstjek: During heavy rainfall or by manually introducing water into the system, observe if the emitter pops up and retracts correctly.
- Vinterisering (hvis relevant): In regions with freezing temperatures, ensure your drainage system is clear of standing water before winter to prevent ice formation from damaging the emitter or pipes.
Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your NDS 420 Pop-Up Drainage Emitter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Emitter does not pop up. | Insufficient water pressure; debris obstructing mechanism; pipe blockage. | Ensure adequate water flow. Clear any debris from around/under the cap. Check for blockages in the drainage pipe. |
| Emitter does not retract fully. | Debris caught under the cap; damaged spring. | Remove any debris preventing full closure. If the spring is damaged, the emitter may need replacement. |
| Water leaks around the emitter base. | Improper connection to pipe; damaged pipe or emitter base. | Verify the connection to the drainage pipe is secure. Apply appropriate sealant if necessary. Inspect for cracks or damage. |
