FDOT Curb Inlet Tops

The Curb Inlet is typically a below ground box structure with a vertical throat opening at the street level. As the name implies, the opening is placed in the curb perimeter of the paved surface area. Also at the street level, is an iron access cover (often referred to as a “manhole cover”).

Most curb opening inlets depend heavily upon an adjacent depression in the gutter for effective flow interception. Greater interception rates result in shorter (and probably, more economical) inlet lengths. However, a large gutter depression can be unsafe for traffic flow and bicycle operation near the gutter line. Therefore, a compromise is in order when selecting an appropriate value for the gutter depression.
