...from my basement.

Going to get some good seat time burying a few of these babies in the low spots and building a swale halfway up the hill to re-direct the flow which currently runs right down my bulkhead.

the input line should Dead end into the T so that the 2 drain feilds get equal water. your current setup will only divert water to the second field once the first one fills up somewhat.

no cleanout for the pipe? i would have incuded a T at the bottom of the gutter downspout for a cleanout

good point about dead ending the t connection, I'll have to think about opening that up and adjusting. The connection at the downspout is just pressure fit, i.e. no glue so easy enough to pop off for cleaning access.

Do you know who manufactured the corrugated pipe for the dry well? Is this an assembly?

Thanks, I have a project that would be perfect for this.

I assume you mean the chambers. The chambers are from Infiltrator systems. they come in 4' sections. and the end units are seperate as well. Here's a pic of the parts. My units are each 3 4' sections and 2 end caps.
The 4" coregated pipe I got at home depot in a 100' roll
