Dandy Sack®, Framed Model
Sleek Metal Frame Makes Inlet Protection Installation Easy
The patented Dandy Sack inlet protection system, Framed Model, provides the best in storm grate filtration. Its streamlined metal-frame design makes it a snap to install and conceals the fabric. This incredibly strong, open-top catch basin silt sack hangs below the grate to filter the thickest sediment-laden stormwater. The suspended solids settle out of the slowed flow and are captured by the Dandy Sack prior to entering the inlet.
