Our 100% polyester Sock ™ filters are available to fit pipe diameters ranging from 2″ to 48″ (50 mm to 1200 mm) and are designed to work with all perforated drainage pipes, including corrugated HDPE, steel, aluminum, and PVC pipes.
Our most popular Sock™ is the 4″ filter, which comes in Regular and XL sizes. The 4″ XL filter, while designed for 4″ diameter pipes, is slightly larger in size than the regular 4” filter, making it easier to apply and as a result is less susceptible to damage during normal handling and installation.
Most Sock™ filters are available as either white or black fabric. Black fabrics provide enhanced resistance to degradation from UV radiation, in the event of prolonged outdoor storage prior to installation.
All of our Drainage Filter Socks™ are designed to meet or exceed the performance criteria defined by ASTM Standard D6707-06 (2019): Standard Specification for Circular-Knit Geotextile Fabric for Use in Subsurface Drainage Applications. Sock™ filters are defined as Type A fabrics and Super Sock™ filters are defined as Type H fabrics under ASTM D6707-06 (2019). The table below shows how our filters compare to the ASTM criteria for Type A and Type H fabrics.
Criterion | Type A value | Sock™ value | Type H value | Super Sock™ value |
Permittivity | Min: 2.4sec-1 | 4.5sec-1 | Min: 2.75sec-1 | 2.75sec-1 – 5.00sec-1 |
Apparent Opening Size | Max: 0.600 mm | 0.600 mm | Max: 0.425 mm | 0.250 mm – 0.425 mm |
Puncture Resistance | Min: 800 N | 1000 N | Min: 800 N | 925 N – 1400 N |
*In addition to the criteria above, we manufacture and test our Sock™ and Super Sock™ filters to meet several other standards. Please review our Product Performance Data Sheets for Sock™ and Super Sock™ filters for more information.
