Drain system blueprint containing self cleansing features
The purpose of drainage pipes is to expel the discharge coming out from the home and direct it into the septic or sewer tanks. Household sewer systems have pipe lines running from inspection chamber to chamber. The system is supposed to keep itself clean and prevent the occurrence of any blockage. A proper slope is required to ensure this smooth flow. The system uses mostly UPVC tubing. Once laying has been carried out, it is vital to test the system fully before putting it into commission. The correct location for testing is between the inspection chambers.
Drainage pipes must be placed in trenches. The standard trench depth that is used is between three hundred and five hundred millimeters. Drainage lines running under a walkway, driveway or parking area are installed with a concrete casing. To begin laying the lines, first excavate the trenches to the necessary depths. The grading must be done near the sewers or the tank. A one to four ratio is appropriate for the incline. It should be ensured that the foot of each trench is packed close and rammed. Pegs can be used to set accurate levels in the trench bottoms.
The drainage pipes should never be laid down haphazardly, they are to be put in a straight line. Sockets that lead uphill or in the direction of the building must be used for joining the separate pipes. An even and solid ground is required for laying the system throughout its length. The female and male sockets should be joined firmly using a strong adhesive. The adhesive pack comes with instructions, make sure they are strictly followed. Pipes must fit exactly into the thickness of the wall, during connection to the inspection chambers. The drainpipes should be kept free of foreign matter.
Check all the drain pipes before installing them. This is important to make sure that there is no leakage. The recesses of the socket should be made at the deepest point. However they should not be too long. The inspection chamber’s entry and exit points need to be graded well, in addition to being leveled. After completing all joints cover the system with soil. Make the final connections to the sewer or septic tank. The drainage is finally completed by connecting the utilities to the tank.
