🌿 4-Inch Black Flex-Drain ADP53702 Landscaping Drain Pipe Adapter, Flexible T/Y Review

I just installed this over the weekend (a day ago) so durability remains to be seen but it did exactly what I needed with an adjustable Y design as the previous T adapter I had leaked terribly. I used PVC tape. to secure the connections and hope this fixes the long term leak issues I was having previously. My main addition to this is an adapter that fits a 4" drain pipe to prevent additional leakage.

Used with Model #55020 DWV Flex Drain Connector. T/Y has one female and two male holes and only the 55020 DMV Connector is suitable for connecting a section of flex drain tubing . Confused by many, Flex-Drain also sells what is called a "universal" connection and despite its name is only suitable for use with 3" or 4" corrugated tubing and is not compatible with the Flex-Drain drain pipe.

The product definitely does not have the shock resistance of a standard corrugated pipe (hope that's obvious). I didn't find the setup much more flexible or useful than the standard hard Y-connection. I don't mind recommending it unless you're using it in dynamic weight conditions or in major overload situations (IOW, don't plan on driving a car or a heavy lawn mower over it and digging in than 18 inch stuff - dirt or stone).

I needed this to supplement my current setup but it is leaking water. I don't understand how on earth they expect you to connect 4 to 4 without leaking. You can't fit tight enough for this to work properly. Even 4 inch connectors leak. Looks like I'll have to buy an ANOTHER plug that goes from 4" to 3" so I can route it in the 4" so it doesn't leak. For one of my drains I need to go 4 to 3" and then use 4 to 3 in. It's ridiculous what I and others have to go through to make this work without…

If you're buying this, you're probably connecting multiple drainpipes (I bought a 50ft drainpipe for my garden a few months ago and needed a second 50ft drainpipe to extend that drainpipe ). system to my front yard drain). As a previous reviewer pointed out, you need a hookup! Major hardware stores don't stock this product (at least not mine) so don't count on going to the hardware store to buy connectors like I did. So make sure you have female to female connectors (should be 4 inches on each…

They seem hard to find for some reason although I suspect it's more of a local item than anything else. I like this particular WYE better as it is a 4" corrugated pipe for straight and the Y shape itself is flexible and fits on 3" or 4" corrugated pipe. I prefer the clean 4 "or 3" WYE as both can be adjusted. The WYE itself is made from a softer plastic which lends itself well to floor drains; the "hard" ones can become brittle over time but this one doesn't. I like them However, there was a…
