Why Install an ARS?
The Wing-Gate Automatic Retractable Screen (ARS) will keep out up to 70% of all large trash/debris on the street & NOT into the storm drain system! It remains closed during low-flow/nuisance water curb flow. This will allow the street sweeper's to pick up all of the trash accumulated in front of the screens. It only opens when moderate to strong stormwater events occur, to prevent street flooding. The Wing-Gate ARS & new "Dual-Action" ARS are the only patented ARS screens that open both laterally and vertically in the curb inlet openings to allow for maximum operating efficiency!
Let's deal with the trash before it enters our waterways!
CAST IRON"HOODED" ARS
The Stainless Steel "Vertical-Wingate" Automatic Retactable Screen
or commonly called "ARS," remains closed to keep large trash/debris
from entering the catch basin, yet opens fully during extreme storm
events to prevent street flooding. Add custom verbiage on the screen
such as your city name, No Dumping Drains to Creek, Bay, River,
Ocean, etc. Also, for the cast iron "hooded" basins, NO drilling of any
kind needed for anchoring into the concrete walls of the catch basins!
You can "clamp" the mounting bracket onto the top portion of the hood!
