Analysis of data from the Federal Highway Administration tests of slotted inlets with slot widths &gt;= 45mm (1.75in) indicates that the length of slotted inlet required for total interception can be computed by equation 4-22. Chart 7, is there applicable for both curb-opening and slotted inlets.&quot;</p> <p>Therefore, to model a slotted drain inlet in InRoads S&amp;S, use a Curb Opening Inlet as your structure type.</p> <p></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h1><b><img width="189" height="60" style="border-width:0px;" alt=" " src="/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-components-sitefiles/TSG-Logo.png" /></b></h1> <p></p> <p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
