How to Install a Sewer Pipe
Pipe installation sould be done carefully with the adequate slope. No matter if the pipe is going to be installed inside of a structure or outside, the installation pipe installationmethod will be the same. Depending on the sewer pipe material, things could be easier or more complicated, because the pipe will be harder to handle and the installation process of the sewer pipe will require additional labor and equipment.
To start, you must determine how far the pipe needs to go, and determine the elevation at which the pipe will be connected to the specific fixture or if it will be connected to another pipe. Another important information is to determine what will be the final installation height. Both, initial and final elevation must be measured at the interior point of the connecting pipe, just in the middle portion of the pipe.
Now that you have both elevations and the pipe length, we neepipe installationd to calculate the pitch or fall of the sewer pipe run. Subtract both elevation and divide the horizontal or pipe length into the difference in elevation, and that will be the drop per linear foot or meters of pipe. Be careful, a drop greater than ¼” per foot is not adequate as water will flow faster than solids, while a slope to small, less than 0.003, will be sufficient to carry solids away. The recommended pitch for 4" pipe is 1/8" to 1/4" per foot
