Available in multiple configurations

Wedge Wire Screen laterals and pipe-based laterals can be connected to distributor and drain headers by fabricated custom bolt patterns, standard NPT thread, fabricated flanges, ANSI connections or welded as one assembly. Laterals are available in all standard pipe and tube diameters for both header-lateral and hub-lateral assemblies.

For the most demanding applications

The combination of a unique internal support-rod structure and the flexibility in the materials available to be used in fabrication (stainless steel and many other alloys) makes Wedge Wire an easy choice when constructing an under-drain system. 

Benefits of our Under-Drains & Ion Exchange Internals include:

  • Continuous-slot design increases open area for better collection

  • Highly resistant to clogging 

  • Stronger and more durable than mesh screens

  • Various fitting types and sizes available

  • Design flexibility

  • High-precision slot sizes are available to meet your requirements

  • Economical designs make them less expensive than other screens

  • Resistant to extreme pressure and temperature variances as well as corrosion
    (depending on the material)

Hub Assemblies
Each system is specifically designed for your application and serves both as a collector of down-flow service and a distributor of incoming backwash water. 


Pipe-based screen laterals
Designed to evenly distribute flow over the entire screen area, pipe-based screen laterals are typically connected to distributors and under-drain headers by NPT or flanged fittings.
