The stream that this pipe contains, is all but a trickle until severe storms. It is currently in a 4 inch pipe, and that is almost sufficient enough, but clogs up way to easily. For the last 13 years of my life, after every rain, I am standing out in my yard snaking out that damn pipe. When it clogs, it backs up and then flows over my driveway, which finallly , after all these years of flooding, washed my driveway out this past spring .
I am going to put a "T" clean out every 75 feet as well, and if it does clog, or overfill,, it can overflow out of the t's. I don't care if it backs up and runs through my yard a little in heavy storms, as long as I can keep the flooding away from my driveway, ( which I have already done). We just had a whopper of a rain storm and my yard flooded, but my driveway was dry.
I am 100% that 12 inch pipe will be large enough. a pipe that large will flow a LOT of water.
Thanks for the replies. I don't really think I am skimping here, those adapters are nothing really fancy. Just a necked down big plastic bell. Hard to justify shelling out that kind of coin for something that simple.
