Inlet Fitting

Also referred to as Inlet Tee or Inlet Baffle. May be a plastic tee, a concrete baffle or metal device that allows wastewater to enter the septic tank without creating excessive turbulence in the influent compartment and, prevents buoyant wastes from backing up into the drain line coming from the house. The short part of the fitting extends above the scum (top) level in the tank, while the longer bottom part extends below the scum level into the clear zone. <
