Basic Application: RELINER® INSIDE DROP SYSTEM is a plastic composite collection device that facilitates the controlled drop of effluent into the main stream flow of a sanitary manhole. The Drop Bowl permits easy inspection and cleaning without the need to enter the structure. The custom made adjustable stainless steel straps fully support the drop pipe.
Advantages of the INSIDE DROP SYSTEM by RELINER®:
- Reduce maintenance
- Eliminate confined space entry
- Speed Inspection
- Simplify cleaning
- Reduce turbulence and odor
- Solids and liquids remain together
- Erosion of structure eliminated
- High corrosion resistance
- Allow workers to enter structure without risk of effluent contact
- Increase pump life in wet wells
Composition and Materials: RELINER® DROP BOWL is hand fabricated from marine grade fiberglass. The clamping pipe supports are of 304 stainless steel with 18-8 stainless nuts and bolts. 316 stainless is also available.
These materials have extremely high resistance to sewer acids while providing very smooth, low maintenance assemblies.
The open design allows for grade level inspection and cleaning while containing the incoming material and conducting it smoothly into the main flow of the system.
The RELINER Drop system is compatible with virtually all types of manhole construction and rehabilitation technologies and materials.
RELINER© INSIDE DROP components consist of
- Composite Drop Bowls
- Stainless steel clamping brackets
RELINER composite components are hand and chopper gun laminations of these properties:

Sample Specification for RELINER® INSIDE DROP SYSTEM:
All new and / or existing manhole structures employing inside drops shall use RELINER Inside Drop Bowl components as produced by RELINER® / Duran Inc. 9 Matthews Drive, Unit A1/A2, East Haddam, CT 06423 (800) 508-6001, fax (877) 434-3197 or equal. Bowl size shall be determined by incoming pipe sizes and flow rates. The bowl shall be installed as per manufacturer's instructions using stainless steel fasteners. The appropriately sized drop pipe of SDR 35 PVC, Schedule 40 or other shall be securely attached to the manhole wall using stainless steel RELINER Adjustable Clamping Brackets and stainless steel fasteners. Bracket interval shall be 4 feet maximum (minimum of 2 brackets). The connection of Drop Bowl to drop pipe shall be by flexible external pipe coupler. The turn-out at the base end of the drop pipe shall be accomplished with an appropriately angled PVC pipe elbow (45 degree recommended). RELINER is manufactured by Duran Inc., www.reliner.com).
1. Select Drop Bowl of size appropriate to flow rate and pipe diameter. Examples:
(The"A" Bowl with 4" outlet will service up through full 6" inlets. The "A" Bowl with 6" outlet will service up through full 8" inlets. Can be used for 10" & 12" inlet moderate flows. The "B" Bowl with 8" outlet will service up through full 10" inlets. The "B" Bowl with 10" outlet will service up through full 12" inlets. Can be used for 15" and 16" moderate flows. Larger sizes and flat wall configurations are also available.)
2a. Trim incoming pipe so that only 2" maximum protrudes into manhole.
2b. For improved flow control, cut a "V" shaped notch at bottom edge of incoming pipe.
3. Center Drop Bowl directly under incoming pipe, allow approximately 1" clearance between pipe and bowl.
4. Attach Drop Bowl to manhole wall with 3/8" diameter stainless steel bolts in lead expansion anchors. (See following instructions).
NOTE: A & B Bowls are best installed with (4) 3/8” expansion anchors. 24 & 30 Bowls are best installed with (6) 3/8” expansion anchors. 36 & 48 Bowls require (8) & (10) respectively 3” Wedge Anchors.
NOTE: Fiberglass Manhole Installation Requires Special bolts!!!!!! See parts and pricing page.
- Drill a 3/4" hole into the base material to the required depth (approximately 1-1/4" deep.)
- Blow the hole clean of dust and other material.
- Insert the anchor into the hole (Lead shield out).
- Position a setting tool or a 9/16" socket against the anchor outer cone. (The outer rim of the tool or socket should seat onto the lead shield rim.)
- Using the tool or socket, set the anchor by driving the lead sleeve over the cone using several sharphammer blows. (Be sure the anchor is at the required embedment depth.)
- Position the fixture, insert screw or bolt and tighten.
5. Cut and mount SDR 35 PVC drop pipe of diameter appropriate to Drop Bowl size and flow using RELINER adjustable stainless steel clamping brackets. Use a minimum of 2 brackets with a maximum spacing of 4 feet (RELINER clamping brackets will adjust to allow drop pipe to maintain correct stand off from wall).
6. Connection from Drop Bowl to drop pipe shall be by flexible external pipe connector. ("Fernco Recommended.)
7. Install appropriate pipe elbow to provide smooth transition into channel flow. We recommend a 45 degree elbow.
Our Drop Bowl warranty is void if the drop pipe is not installed with the correct RELINER pipe support brackets as these brackets fully support the drop pipe and hold it off the wall the correct distance. (see #5 above)
