Prinsco HB061 Hickenbottom Intake 1x6 Inch

Product Description

The PRINSCO HB061 is a high-visibility hickenbottom intake fitting designed for use in agricultural and stormwater drainage systems. The hickenbottom style top allows water to enter a drainage pipe from the soil surface or a drainage structure while restricting debris and sediment intrusion. This fitting measures 1 inch by 6 inches and is intended for installation by drainage contractors, agricultural tile installers, and civil drainage professionals working with subsurface pipe networks. The high-visibility design aids in field location and inspection after installation.

The HB061 is suited for subsurface drainage applications including field tile systems, roadside drainage, and agricultural water management installations. This fitting is typically placed at intake points where surface or profile water needs to be directed into a drain tile network. Its compact 1 inch by 6 inch profile makes it appropriate for use with standard-sized drainage pipe in residential, agricultural, and light commercial drainage projects.

Key Features

• High-visibility construction for easy field identification and post-installation inspection
• Hickenbottom-style top design allows controlled water intake while limiting debris entry
• 1 inch x 6 inch form factor fits standard subsurface drainage pipe configurations
• Compact profile suitable for agricultural tile and stormwater drainage systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard subsurface agricultural and stormwater drainage pipe systems accepting a 1 inch by 6 inch hickenbottom intake.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed drainage contractors or agricultural tile installers following applicable local drainage and grading codes. Ensure the surrounding soil or structure is stable and properly graded before seating the intake fitting. Inspect the fitting for cracks or deformation before installation, and confirm the intake opening is free of obstruction after placement.
