Curb Inlet Basket™ Information

Standard Capacity Curb Inlet Basket™ and
High Capacity Curb Inlet Basket™ Information

The Standard Capacity Curb Inlet Basket™ (used in
shallow catch basins) and High Capacity Curb Inlet Basket™
(used in deep catch basins) are specialized inlet filters used
specifically for curb inlets where the only access element is
a manhole. Both units are made of UV Coated marine grade
fiberglass and stainless steel to ensure longevity and
durability. Stormwater flow is directed into the filtration
basket via a shelf system that is located directly under the
manhole for easy access. Under high volume flows, the
water can bypass the filtration system by simply flowing
past the filter and into the catch basin.

Benefits

• Will not impede design flow of the inlet.

High Capacity Curb Inlet Basket™
with built in shelf system for ease
of installation and service. For use
in deep catch basins.

• Removes more than 80% of total suspended solids.

• The High Capacity Curb Inlet Basket is able to retain
hundreds of pounds of debris and sediment.

• Screens of different sieve sizes optimize filtration and flow.

• Bypass openings prevent clogging.

• Multi stage filtration captures hydrocarbons, sediment, litter
and foliage.

• No need to enter the confined space of the catch basin.

• Easily serviced by vacuum truck.

Standard Capacity Curb Inlet
Basket™ with built in shelf system
for ease of installation and
service. Typically used regularly
in shallow catch basins.

Curb inlet where servicing can only occur via
access from the manhole.

Curb Inlet Basket™ Operation

Operation Summary

The Curb Inlet Basket™ (CIB™) and High Capacity Curb
Inlet Basket™ (HCCIB™) are unique for their “Shelf System”
which directs stormwater flow into the filter positioned
directly under the access manhole. The Shelf System
can be manufactured to any size and style of catch basin.
The CIB™ and HCCIB™ are multi stage filtration systems
that can capture a variety of pollutants during a storm:

1 Stormwater carrying debris and pollutants enters the

inlet through the curb.

2 An adjustable throat width funnels water to the weir.

The immediate drop in the throat elevation prevents
head loss through the inlet. This allows sediment to
collect along the incoming side of the weir.

3 The water then flows over the weir and into the removable

filtration basket, filtering out trash, foliage and sediment.
Furthermore, If a StormBoom™ is installed, it will filter out
any hydrocarbons from the stormwater as it flows into the
filtration basket.

4 Filtered water leaves the basket and enters the catch basin

where it flows down stream. The position of the curb inlet
basket high in the catch basin allows for captured debris
to dry between storm events as well as avoid restriction to
any up stream pipes.

dry foliage and debris ready for
collection and disposal.
