4-Inch Weep Hole Filter

Model #: JF4SS

Key Features

Large Capacity

A 4” diameter weep hole filter provides 20.79 gpmflow rate for applications demanding high performance especially during heavy rainfall and snow melt. 

Rugged Stainless Steel

316-grade stainless steel construction resists rust, corrosion, and mechanical wear for extended service life.

Versatile Applications

Suited for retaining walls, seawalls, and flood-prone infrastructure where high-capacity drainage is critical.

Low Operating Costs

The 26 square inches of geotextile filter fabric also provide longer periods between maintenance. This reduces maintenance future costs by providing more soil filtration capacity.

4-Inch Weep Hole Filter Product Description

Advanced Drainage Technology
4-Inch Weep Hole Filter
  • Unmatched Surface Area and Water Flow
    The conical design of our 4-inch weep hole filter provides 210% more filter fabric surface area than a traditional 4″ dia. weep hole. This increased surface area enables the filter to produce greater than 200% additional water flow, ensuring exceptional drainage performance. With 9 times the surface area of our 2.5″ dia. ABS filters and 1.5 times that of 3″ dia. units, the 4″ dia. units are the most versatile, suitable for virtually any application.
  • Efficient and Low Maintenance Design
    Unlike traditional drainage systems, the 4-inch weep hole filter is designed for quick and easy maintenance. Its 26 in² filter surface area allows it to go longer between cleaning compared to smaller models, making it an ideal choice for environments where maintenance intervals may be extended.
  • Enhanced Longevity and Structural Protection
    The 4-inch weep hole filter not only improves drainage efficiency but also enhances the longevity of retaining walls and seawalls by effectively preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup. This increased capacity helps protect structures from damage and costly repairs over time.
