Installing a 2-into-1 culvert.
Here's why I won't install homeowner / standard grade (read Home Depot/Lowes) ADS type drainage pipe....even if the homeowner wants it. I've replaced miles of this junk...crushed and full of dirt.
Since my supplier sent the wrong custom t-wye (and the correct one was two weeks out), I improvised by slice-flaring and screwing one pipe to the other, then sealed it with mesh tape and a few layers of Sealtight tuck point mastic.
Finished off the install with rip-rap entrances and exits. The stone is Oklahoma moss rock, which is a close match to the native stone on the property.
