Product Information

The replacement section joins to the two standing pipes by means of hubless fittings. These are neoprene sleeves secured by stainless steel clamps. Unlike water supply pipes, drainpipes are usually bigger in diameter to minimize the likelihood of clogging. They vary in size between 1.25 inches to 4 inches. Whether you opt for push fit soil pipe or solvent weld products at this stage is up to you - most merchants carry a wide range of both - and you'll be able to find pipes, branches, and fittings in a variety of colours to suit a range of properties. Your diagram doesn't just make it easier to visualise how the finished job will look and connect to drainage services - it's also a huge help in planning out the exact products you need too. Connecting plastic pipes to underground clay water drainage A waste pipe is where all wastewater from the drain pipes meet and then travel to the treatment facility. This waste pipe is also known as the main drain pipe.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef]If you ever experience sewage smell in your house, either the P-trap is leaking or the plumbing vent is clogged. A clogged vent forces sewer gases to flow out through drains and you will notice the toilet bubbling when flushed or the tub drain gurgling when the toilet is flushed. Circuit vents are used with more than one fixtures. A circuit vent is installed before the last fixture extend up to open air or connects to an other vent that extend to the outside There are multiple ways to save on plumbing costs; it’s merely a matter of deciding which options work best for you. Weathering Collar - used to divert rainwater away from falling directly onto the weathering slate to provide extra protection. A lateral drain is a length of pipe which carries wastewater away from your property to a sewer. It’s usually located outside your property boundary, often under a public pavement or road. A lateral drain might run under your property if you share a sewer with your neighbour.

As mentioned above, leaf, snow, and any other debris are the easiest to fix. One of the ways you may try doing yourself is to insert a garden hose into the vent opening and turn on the water. The force will most usually clear any interference and obstruction.

The origin of the issue is that as a species we are systematically capping our ground surface off with materials like paving, asphalt and concrete. What this often means is that water has nowhere to go but into our sewage systems rather than into the immediate surrounding sub-soil.Hunter, R.B. Methods of estimating loads in plumbing systems.

Sewage clogs: if something other than human waste and toilet paper is thrown into the toilet, it may clog the sewer line exactly where it meets the plumbing vent. You are responsible for maintaining or repairing any drains inside the boundaries of your property - these are your private drains. You don't have to maintain or repair lateral drains that you share with your neighbour - your water company is responsible for theseLow level cistern type – Widely used in HK public housing (eg Hong Mei House, Tsing Yi), and in some older properties and public toilets in the UK. Most pipes are exposed. A flushing pipe is connected between the cistern and the WC bowl which is of wash-down design. More water droplets will arise during flushing for this type of bowl so the WC pan must be covered prior to flushing. In addition, adequate water volume must be maintained in the cistern to ensure that the foul water as well as all solid waste is flushed away. The term sanitary pipework is thrown around regularly, so just to clarify, it is any kind of pipework that is used to transport waste water (grey water) from toilets, sinks, baths, washing machines, dishwashers etc into the underground drainage system. A condensate drain line from a boiler is also classed as sanitary pipework. A condensate drain line sends the collected water from the condensation towards the pipe system so that it can be disposed of. Upon making this type of connection make sure to use pipework that has a diameter of 22mm, as a minimum, that goes through a 75mm condensate trap. A condensate trap is there to ensure that the condensation released by your boiler is safely collected so that it doesn’t affect anything in a negative way. In the case that there is an extra condensate trap provided to the boiler, an air gap should be implemented in between the boiler and the free space. An air gap is a clear vertical area between the water outlet and flood level of the actual installation. Soil pipes also need to be larger in diameter than waste pipes on the account of having to handle more…solid materials. While having your sink drain into a soil pipe wouldn't really matter much (apart from using up an unnecessary amount of space under it), having your toilet drain into a waste pipe would be a recipe for a very unpleasant disaster in your home.
