How to cut into the plastic tube

methods tapping into sewer

connect to existing sewer pipe, you can use a special tee, if the metal system.In modern plastic systems, this method can not be applied.Rush with the decision of this question it is not necessary.It is necessary to consider various ways to tie into the sewer and then start working.

Ways to tie into the sewer pipe

Box with tee

This method is more troublesome and requires a lot of accuracy in the selection of the tee.The first step is to cut a piece of pipe and precisely choose the tee, which will replace the cut-out portion.Planning work, please note that tee will be attached in the form of coupling, and then fasten all connections should be welded.Independently of this work can hardly cope with, unless you are a professional welder.

Box using the tee

In the event that plastic sewer pipe, it can be a part of the pipe to replace the pipe with a ready-pipe specifically designed for connecting additional appliances.The main problem is the connection using sockets inserted in the pipe.

Box in the plastic pipe

Crashing into sewer plastic pipe can be a very affordable way to be under the power of any owner.To do this, follow these steps:

  1. The most important thing to work - warn the neighbors that they do not use the sink.
  2. in advance to prepare a tube with a nozzle of suitable diameter.
  3. Cut the workpiece, ie,leave the tube with a piece of pipe of this size, to the point of connection to the sewer standpipe was firmly blocked.
  4. Next drilled a hole in the sewer riser pipe with a diameter identical.
  5. inner surface of the resulting flange and the outer surface of the pipe around the hole generously smeared with sealant.
  6. Impose a flange on a pipe, firmly push it around the edges with clamps.We'll have to calculate the force to tighten it's not very tight and neat, just to the edge of the sealant appeared, which removes the excess.If the sewer system water pressure is low, use the collars is not necessarily, you can use electrical tape.

Cutting a plastic pipe

Box in metal pipe

The metal pipe is carried out using tie-ready tee with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the main riser.It is not always possible to get a tee the required parameters, sometimes you have to prepare yourself flange:

  1. will take the tube to its inner diameter was identical to the outer diameter of the sewer riser.
  2. The pipe should be cut lengthwise, drill a hole in it, and weld pipe.
  3. This work should ideally be done by professional welders.If you can not make a connection by welding, use clamps and sealant.

The tapping of the metal tube

Box likewise allowed in the heating pipes, water supply, sewage system.

What you need to tie into the sewer pipe

Currently, the construction market has a lot of all kinds of adapters, flanges, adapters employees.So for any problem, you can easily find a solution.For example ,:

  • on pipes with a diameter of 100-110 mm adapters are placed, having a diameter of 50 mm;
  • pipe cross-section of 32-40 mm suit tie diameter 19-22 mm with a plastic fitting.

Quality Box in the sewer riser to avoid removal and complete replacement of the entire riser.
