Product Overview
EZ-Drain is an all-in-one, easy to install substitute for a traditional French Drain. One 7 in. EZ-Drain stick consists of a corrugated slotted pipe surrounded by a polystyrene aggregate, all wrapped in a durable filter fabric. It's lighter, simpler, and faster to install.
- Useful in solving surface and subsurface drainage problems for lawns and plant beds, building foundations and basements, retaining walls and raised planters, and sports fields
- Works as an infiltration system to detain water captured from upstream sources such as a downspout, and slowly release it into the surrounding soil
- Connect to same size EZ Drain French Drain or 3 in. Single-Wall Corrugated Drain Pipe with Internal Coupling or 3 in. Sewer and Drain Pipe with Pipe Adapter
- With a 1% slope, each bundle has a flow rate of 81 GPM and storage volume of 11-½ gallons
- Strong structural integrity resists compaction and supports pedestrian traffic and lawn tractors when properly installed
- Drainage bundle comes preassembled and ready to install with 3 in. slotted corrugated drain pipe, lightweight engineered aggregate all encased in a 30-sieve white geotextile mesh fabric
- Flexible, 7 in. diameter, 10 ft. bundle bends around corners and straightaways and is easy to manipulate
- Patented Poly-Rock™ is uniquely engineered with “flow channels” to increase void space, improve water flow rates by 30%, and provide greater storage capacity compared to gravel systems
- The EZ Drain French Drain System works in conjunction with other NDS products such as Catch Basin Drains, Flo-Well® Dry Wells, Channel Drains, Trench Drains, and Pop-Up Drainage Emitters as part of a complete stormwater drainage system
- Ready-to-install design is a great back saver—no gravel needed, and installs in half the time of traditional French Drain systems
- Bundles can be cut to size (see installation guide on NDSPro.com); multiple bundles can be connected together at the pipe ends with internal couplings . Recommend install with a minimum 1% slope for positive drainage
- Includes one bundle; bundle is 7 in. dia. X 10 ft. long and contains a 3 in. slotted single-wall corrugated pipe surrounded by Poly-Rock™, all encased in a white geotextile mesh sleeve
- Single-wall corrugated slotted center drain pipe is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using a combination of virgin and recycled content; mesh made of polyethylene geotextile. Poly-Rock™ made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) using 100% recycled content
- Use with a catch basin or low-profile adapter to capture stormwater runoff from the surface; use basin or low-profile adapter with a drain grate on top to block debris from entering and clogging your drainage system
- Use with a Flo-Well® Dry Well System to detain excess water and slowly release it into the ground. Use with a Pop-Up Drainage Emitter to discharge collected water at a point of release downstream
- Onsite stormwater management protects the watershed downstream, and limits excess runoff which can lead to negative impacts such as erosion, pollution, and flooding
- NDS, founded in 1972, is the preferred choice of professionals and the leader in stormwater management with proven products, tools, and support to help you get the job done right

Questions & Answers
32Questions22Answers
Would this work for the drainpipe behind a retaining wall?
Asked by CW April 11, 20183
AnswersThe engineering design for my 5' - 8' retaining wall, 125' long, calls for drain rock enclosed in filter fabric for a 12"-wide swath immediaterly behind the wall starting at grade level and continuing vertically behind the wall to 12" below surface level. Using this product on its own will certainly work for a short, low wall, say 10' long and no more than 18" tall, where drainage would be unnecessary, anyway. Anything more than that and this will become a substantially more expensive solution if implemented correctly.
I need only 27'. Can the 10' sections be trimmed to meet distance needs?
Asked by Jack January 21, 20203
AnswersYes but you need some long zip ties. Maneuver the filler of away from and then zip tied about 2 to 4-inch on either side of where you want to cut. there's videos on YouTube.
Could this drain work in a crawlspace to feed ground water to a sump pump?
Asked by Rick December 21, 20172
AnswersI don't think so. The water will leach out along the whole length of the pipe.
How deep does this prefab french drain need to be buried below the surface?
Asked by Ditchdigger June 10, 20202
AnswersMy brother-in-law installed this french drain for me. We dug 18" deep and about 10" wide. It had a 1% slope towards where the water exited. We installed a few years ago and it worked great as stopped dirt movement under pavers in front of 4' wall.
Is it approved for use in the City of Los Angeles? Any LARR number?
Asked by Yigal May 29, 20192
AnswersYou'll have to check with the city planners.
Are there T Connectors available for this product?
Asked by Truckman June 26, 20182
AnswersYes. There are several different types of connectors.
Can this be attached to downspout runoff?
Asked by Kevin March 10, 20182
AnswersThat is what I used it for. You may want to make sure to have some type of screen or sump to catch leaves or pine needles and such and a way to clean it out.
Can I use this product to drain stormwater from my gutters to divert underground
Asked by Razatab July 24, 20182
AnswersYes of course. It's a drainage product.
I want to run the EZ Drain along the footer of one side of my house, but I don't want to backfill...
Asked by Roberto October 25, 20172
AnswersSo you'll only be using the bottom half of the pipe? The top half will be above ground? This may not work because the water will still go into the ground by your footer seam. Why not dig a trench and fill it up with river rock so it looks nice? You'll get the same effect.
Will this system work with heavy clay soils? Or will the clay clog the attached sock?
Asked by MaiMai July 1, 20202
AnswersThis can be installed in clay soil, but we do recommend backfilling with at least of 4" of a permeable material such as gravel or top soil, not the clay soil. Although not required, adding a geotextile fabric in the trench before installing this product will give an added layer of protection against clogging.

Easy installation, worth the price since you don't have to purchase rocks or weed barrier to place above or below the drain. Would highly recommend for anyone needing French drainage system at their home.
