Advanced Drainage Systems 3040010 Slotted Drainage Tube

Product Description

The ADVANCED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS 3040010 is a 3-inch diameter by 10-foot slotted corrugated polyethylene drainage tube with a bell end. It is designed for subsurface drainage applications where water needs to be collected and channeled away from structures, landscaping, or grade areas. The slots along the tube wall allow groundwater and surface infiltration to enter the pipe, while the corrugated construction provides structural strength against soil loading. The bell end connection simplifies field assembly when joining multiple sections. Plumbers, site contractors, and irrigation professionals are the primary installers of this product.

This tube is used in residential and light commercial drainage installations including French drain systems, yard drainage, foundation perimeter drain systems, and turf or landscape drainage. The 10-foot length suits typical trench layouts and reduces the number of joints required. It performs in applications where flexible, lightweight piping is preferred over rigid PVC drain tile. The bell end allows direct socket-style connection to compatible fittings or the spigot end of an adjacent tube section without additional couplings.

Key Features

• 3-inch diameter by 10-foot length suits standard residential and light commercial trench drainage layouts
• Slotted wall design allows groundwater infiltration along the full run of the tube
• Corrugated polyethylene construction resists crushing under compacted soil backfill
• Bell end included for direct socket connection to adjacent tube sections or fittings
• Lightweight construction simplifies handling and trench installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 3-inch corrugated polyethylene drainage systems using bell-and-spigot connections.

Installation Notes

This tube is typically installed by plumbers or site contractors working under applicable local drainage and plumbing codes. Ensure the trench is graded to the correct slope before laying the tube to maintain proper flow. Backfill should be placed and compacted carefully to avoid displacing the tube alignment. Perforated or slotted pipe installed near foundations should be wrapped in filter fabric where soil conditions risk sediment infiltration into the drainage system.
