Step 1

Place the Dandy Curb on the ground with aggregate pouch on street side near the inlet on which it will be installed.

Step 2

Open Velcro® access pouch located on the street side of the unit.

Step 3

If using optional oil absorbents, place sock in pouch and push back in pouch.

Step 4

Fill pouch with aggregate to a level that will keep the unit in place during an event and create a seal between the Dandy Curb and the surface of the street.

Step 5

Reseal Velcro® access. Center the unit against a curb or median inlet opening so that there is an equal length of the Dandy Curb overhanging on each side of the opening.

To keep Dandy Curb stormwater treatment solutions in good working order:

Remove all accumulated sediment and debris from the surface and vicinity of the unit after each storm event to maintain stormwater compliance.
If using optional oil absorbents, remove and replace absorbents when they near saturation.

FAQs About Dandy Curb® and Curb Inlet Protection

What is Dandy Curb used for?

Dandy Curb is a reusable sediment control device designed to protect curb and median inlets without grates. It helps prevent sediment and debris from entering storm systems during active construction and utility projects.

How does Dandy Curb support stormwater compliance?

Dandy Curb helps contractors meet stormwater compliance requirements by filtering sediment-laden runoff before it enters storm drainage infrastructure. It can be incorporated into a broader erosion and sediment control plan for the site.

Can Dandy Curb be used as part of temporary erosion and sediment control?

Yes. Dandy Curb is frequently used as part of temporary erosion and sediment control programs during construction activities where curb and median inlets require protection from sediment-laden runoff.

How is Dandy Curb different from other curb inlet guards?

Unlike many products that rely on rigid structures, Dandy Curb quickly conforms to the inlet opening while maintaining filtration performance. This flexibility helps it function as an effective curb inlet guard across a wide range of inlet configurations.

Is Dandy Curb considered one of the effective products for controlling stormwater runoff?

Yes. Dandy Curb helps slow runoff, capture sediment, and reduce pollutant transport before water enters the storm system. Many contractors use it alongside other stormwater treatment solutions as part of their overall runoff management strategy.
