Now at the "D" box or 22 years ago when working for an excavation outfit, we used to do quite a few new systems, and there was one "D" box with the appropriate amount of holes for the number of leach lines to be connected, and at the connection into the box were these devices that you adjust to do about the same thing, I forget now if they were set to drain equally or staged so that each would drain in succession of each other, "D" box was level and the perforated drain tile was set 1/8" per foot slope, set on a bed of clean crushed #2 stone, covered in #2 stone, inspected at some point, red rosin paper over the top layer of stone, then backfilled with appropriate fill, usually planted in grass.
