Solhutec - Taurus Pipe Socks
An economical option for smaller jobs is the pipe or filter sock. Manufactured with needle-punched geotextile fabrics, the socks attach directly to the end of pipes or hoses to filter out discharge as it leaves the site.
The Taurus Pipe Sock is a suitable choice for locations dealing with outflow from pipes or small hoses. Built in 4", 6", 8", 12", or 16" diameters, the filter socks attach directly to the end of a pipe or hose and filter materials as they flow out of the pipe. Filters are small enough to effectively strain and contain unwanted materials before they leave the discharge area.

The Taurus Filter Sock, also known as a dewatering sock or pipe sock, is a flexible, low cost way to filter runoff and discharge from a construction site. Designed to easily connect to the end of a pipe or hose, these socks create an easy way for runoff to filter and leave your site. Taurus silt socks are made from an 8 oz. nonwoven filter fabric that provides filtration for discharge items that are six, eight, twelve or sixteen inches (6", 8", 12" or 16") in size.
Dewatering Socks Installation: One of the largest advantages to dewatering socks is their quick and easy installation to end of a pipe or hose. When the sock arrives to your location, it will be completely open on both ends. The first step to installing the sock is securing/tying one end. This is usually done with a zip tie to create a tight and closed off end. Once this is complete, the open end can then be attached to the hose or pipe via a securing clamp.
