Running a sewer line part 1 parts and pipe

[willielife]

Good video. For some reason I watched to the end lol. I am a master plumber and always learning 23 years doing plumbing now.

Where I am, the city just leaves you a sewer stub that comes from the main. Gotta measure and figure out where it is and dig for it. Gotta go down in a deep hole to hook on to it. Sometimes the stub is under a finished driveway. The way your city does it is WAY easier.

Really cool you can tell he has been doing new residential construction plumbing

Thank you for the hard to find details, great work.

Always fun to see different codes. I’m a plumbing contractor in ky…”jammer”, we call them all threads. Dumb reason on the inspectors part for not allowing them. Green pipe is sdr 35 around here, just found out it also called 3034.

I've run a 100' sewer clean out machine. 100' foot of cable minus your vertical drop from your clean out. So a 3' down drop and then 97' of lateral run. So probably a good rule of thumb is every 90 feet between clean outs. But that gets shorter the deeper you go. I did a church one time and it had roughly 400 feet of sewer line between the building and the sewer tap. By the time I was in the last clean out, I was probably about 6 feet or more deep, and i had to get a bigger machine.

great video! very informative and helpful, Thank You sir!

Great info bud. My sewer line is only going to run about 50 feet from the toilet tot he septic tank. That said I am still thinking that putting any 45 deg connections should be avoided. Anyone have any experience with this size of a line and what they think? Thanks. Oh and I dont have any codes believe it or not. I am rural in SE Arizona.

Is there a video of excavation process, reading grade stakes to determine how much you need to cut after adding bedding and pipe thickness

[eltuntun]

In California a clean out is required at every 135° turn or 100’ of pipe run.

[karstensalin]

Using a Sanitary instead of a 2 way long T for a clean out make sense in this case because it come right after a flapper valve. If the clean out worm was used towards the house, (up stream), it would damage the flapper.

[KaceyMotley]

That elder valve is some dirty sh!t - Sometimes you just can't pay your sewer bill. You should be able to take a crap at home without having to go to a gas station. Oh well, pay your bills people. That's one bill you don't want to compromise with :P

Great explanation of the basics, thank you for this!!

*OK, so for my floor drain under the basement floor, that will take all the waste water outside the building and dump it into the sewer line, I am thinking to put a 5 inches schedule 80 pipe under the basement floor. Cost doesn't bother me. Are there any drawbacks for this application? I just wanted to have a stronger and wider pipe under the floor so I, hopefully, never have to dig the basement floor to treat the broken or narrow pipe.*
