Features & Benefits
Waterman F-10 drainage gates are designed for use with concrete pipe, head walls, and corrugated metal pipe with up to ten foot seating head. The frame and cover are constructed of heavy-duty cast iron. Steel angle links are used to absorb unbalanced side shock, and are balance-pivoted on bronze bushings. The quality design and construction assures years of maintenance-free operation. Waterman F-10 drainage gates are currently in extensive use on federal, state, and municipal projects for drainage, waste line, sewage treatment, flood control, and irrigation systems.
