3.3 Inlet Construction<br />

<strong>Curb</strong> <strong>and</strong> gutter sections were fabricated from 1/8-in. thick sheet metal, <strong>and</strong> construction<br />

is shown in Figure 3-4 <strong>and</strong> Figure 3-5. Removable gutter sections for both the Type R curb inlet<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Type 13 <strong>and</strong> 16 combination inlets allowed the inlet length to be adjusted. Modular<br />
