Amerimax Home Products 54022 Perforated Flex Drain Pipe 4x8

Product Description

The AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 54022 is a black expandable perforated flexible drain pipe designed for residential and commercial subsurface drainage applications. Made from corrugated polyethylene, this pipe ships in a compact 2-foot coiled length and expands on-site to a full 8 feet. The 4-inch diameter accommodates standard drainage trench widths, and the perforations allow groundwater to enter and flow freely along the pipe. Soil-tight fittings are molded directly into the pipe ends, eliminating the need for separate couplers or connectors. Licensed plumbers, drainage contractors, and landscaping professionals are the typical installers for this type of product.

This flex drain pipe is suited for a wide range of drainage applications including foundation perimeter drainage, yard and lawn drainage, French drain installations, and downspout runoff management. Its corrugated polyethylene construction resists crush loads, meeting the Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe Association crush resistance test standard. The pipe holds its bent shape after installation, making it practical for routing around obstacles without additional fittings. It is packaged as a single unit and is commonly installed in both residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, drainage contractors, or experienced landscaping professionals. Before installation, confirm trench depth and slope meet local drainage and plumbing code requirements. Expand the pipe to the desired length, lay it in the prepared trench with perforations facing down per standard practice, and backfill with appropriate aggregate. No special tools are required beyond standard trenching equipment.
