Slot Options
Slot selection makes a difference.
Choosing the correct slotted pipe helps prevent and reduce sediment buildup in drainage tile to keep it working effectively and efficiently. We offer several slot and sock options for you to choose from to match your land's needs.

Ultra Narrow
- For soil with low clay and organic matter

Muck
