FryeFlow – Inlet Filter Inlet Filter Bag
Inlet filter bags are a staple BMP (Best Management Practice) on any construction job site – and for good reason. MKB offers a full range of inlet filter bags, from basic to advanced, designed to capture sediment and trash before they reach local waterways.
What sets inlet bags apart? Unlike over-the-grate systems, inlet bags sit protected inside the drain, shielding them from damage caused by street cleaners, snow plows, and other contractors. They’re built to last, reusable, and simple to install – meaning fewer replacements and less time spent on maintenance.

This patented catch basin filter system keeps construction dirt out of storm drains while still allowing water to pass through. With its under grate installation and easy cleaning, FryeFlow offers superior sediment control through its patented frame + basket design. Not only does it outperform competing products in terms of keeping streets cleaner, but it also significantly reduces silt accumulation by maintaining better flow.
Maintaining FryeFlow is a breeze. Simply remove the grate, attach a lifting device to the webbing strips, lift out and dump debris. Alternatively, a vac-ter unit can be used. Our reusable bags should be monitored after each storm event to ensure optimal performance.
So, how does FryeFlow work? The secret lies in its patented system, featuring a specially designed metal frame that securely holds a high flow geotextile basket under the grate. This enables water to flow directly through the grate and basket, leaving all sediment and debris behind.
Not only does FryeFlow offer superior performance, but it also saves developers and builders time and money. Unlike traditional over the grate systems, our product is protected from damage caused by street cleaners, snow plows, and other contractors. It’s built to last and doesn’t require constant replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
The FryeFlow Inlet Filter Bag is an under-grate storm drain filtration system featuring a patented frame-and-basket design. It captures sediment and debris before runoff enters the drainage system, allowing water to flow through while keeping storm drains cleaner during construction and maintenance activities.
As runoff enters the storm drain, water passes through the high-flow geotextile basket, which filters out sediment and debris. A durable steel frame supports the filter bag beneath the grate, protecting it from traffic loads, equipment, and jobsite wear.
FryeFlow provides effective sediment control while maintaining strong hydraulic performance and reducing surface ponding. The system is reusable, easy to maintain, and protected from damage caused by vehicles, tools, and pedestrian traffic.
FryeFlow is installed beneath storm drain grates in catch basins and inlets located on streets, parking areas, and construction sites. This placement helps prevent sediment from entering storm drains and protects downstream waterways.
Yes. Both the geotextile filter bag and supporting frame are designed for reuse across multiple storm events. After rainfall, the bag can be lifted out, emptied, and reinstalled for continued use.
Yes. By preventing sediment and debris from entering storm drains, FryeFlow supports erosion and sediment control BMP requirements. It can help improve regulatory compliance and reduce long-term maintenance issues.
Yes. The standard FryeFlow model fits many common inlet configurations, while the FryeFlow CBX model extends into curb box openings for additional protection. CBX models provide enhanced filtration coverage for challenging or high-flow installations.
The FryeFlow filter bag is constructed from woven polypropylene geotextile and supported by a durable steel frame. This combination allows for high sediment capture while resisting wear in demanding field conditions.
