Expert Insights
8" Dia. Pipe Sock for Oil & Sediment | Stormwater Pipe Outfall Filter
Why Pipe Socks Are Essential
Regulatory inspectors commonly monitor stormwater at discharge outfall points — if oil sheen or excessive sediment is detected at your pipe outfall, it can trigger an enforcement action regardless of upstream controls. Pipe Socks provide end-of-pipe treatment that captures hydrocarbons and sediment before stormwater exits your facility boundary. A proven BMP that satisfies SWPPP and NPDES permit requirements.

What Our Customers Say

Great product for the price. Fits our 12-inch outfall pipes perfectly and the drawstring keeps it secured even during heavy flow events. We keep spare socks on hand and swap them out quarterly — simple and effective stormwater BMP.
-
Our municipality requires outfall monitoring and we were consistently failing for oil and grease. Since installing pipe socks on all our discharge points, every sample has been clean. The inspector actually asked where we bought them so he could recommend them to other facilities.
