NDS 1243 Outlet Adapter for Catch Basin, Fits 3 in. & 4 in, No Size, Drain Pipes

I used this to connect a gutter downspout directly into my French drain system using a short run of 4-inch expandable drain tubing. Easy to install, and it worked perfectly. The gutter run-off now is piped out to the sidewalk out front.

Perfect fit

Pair this Outlet Adapter with "NDS 1230-12 Catch Basin" and with "NDS 1212 Drain Grate" and you have the perfect grade-level drain that fits neatly on a 4" drain pipe. All are very well made, I expect many years of yard-draining happiness!!

either this adapter or the basin itself need redesign so that they go together with no trimming

Saved me $ kept me from ordering a complete basin.

This part does not appear to be a NDS 1243 as advertised. It is LABELLED as a part number 1243, however it is embossed with the actual part number - 1244. Please see the circled area in the picture. The part number 1243 was suggested by NDS and others as a way to easily connect 4 inch corrugated drain piping without using any additional connectors. The 1244 part does not accept 4 inch corrugated drain piping. It does accept 4 inch single wall PVC pipe. The quality of the NDS 1244 appears to be fine however is just not the part I expected.

Saved me a lot of money when the basin was damaged.

I would not buy again. Bought these based on the NDS company itself recommending these for my flo-well system. They don't actually fit the well so whats the point and they potentially reduce water flow as they go inside the pipe. Thank you NDS for ripping me off. A lot of money for nothing.
