overview

The Snap-Tite® Hydro-Bell is designed to enhance culvert performance by improving inlet hydraulics and flow capacity. Its smooth HDPE profile and precision bell-and-spigot joint reduce friction and optimize water conveyance, making it an ideal solution for culvert lining projects where maximizing hydraulic efficiency and minimizing maintenance are critical.

design

The Hydro-Bell inlet device is the first device introduced in recent years that uses newer materials to capitalize on the effects of culvert fluid dynamics. Through this design, it is now possible to maximize the hydraulic efficiency (and/or reduce head loss) of a relined culvert.

Numerous advantages make Snap-Tite®
the best hydraulic culvert lining system:

An average flow increase of 30% compared to plain-end headwalls under inlet control conditions
As head pressure increases, the Snap-Tite® Hydro-Bell system flow rate increases, refer to Chart 2 on reverse side
Available in High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP)
Third-party tested to prove performance results
Connects onto the inlet end of the Snap-Tite culvert liner
No special training or tools required to install
Available in all Snap-Tite® liner sizes 8” through 63”
FRP Hydro-Bells are lightweight and UV protected
FRP Hydro-Bells are constructed using a fire retardant and corrosion resistant vinyl ester resin.
Hydro-Bell makes Snap-Tite® the ideal hydraulic option to line failing culverts
Inlet Control Constants and Entrance Loss Coefficients can be found in chapter 3 of the Snap-Tite Design Manual along with other useful hydraulic information
