Types of sewer pipes

advantages of using plastic pipes.

With a huge variety in the construction markets, in the manufacture of plastic pipes are mainly used materials such as polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride.Advantages of such tubes are in their durability, strength, corrosion protection and ease during coupling and mounting operations.

Unlike the old metal pipes, gradually leaving in the past, are replaced by high-quality materials, is gaining popularity in the manufacture of various sanitary equipment.The use of these structures has a number of advantages:

• low price, which is one of the main factors in choosing;
• excellent moisture resistance, thus avoiding the effect of corrosion;
• Resistance to small temperature changes (at low rates need insulation);
• weigh about 5-6 times smaller than the other samples;
• absolutely non-toxic, virtually no burn.

There are some differences when it comes to laying pipes outside or indoors.The first have the ability to easily transfer the exposure to low temperatures, as well as a strong composition.

Preparing to install.

Before starting the installation work, plan and clearly think through their next steps.

• Step One.
  
  Make a drawing of future communications.
• Step Two.
  
  Think about what you need the tools and component parts.
• Step Three.
  
  advance purchase required amount of pipes and fittings to them, then to not be idle.
• Step Four.
  
  If you plan to install additional appliances in advance, prepare for him a separate branch drain.
• Step Five.
  
  Before you cut the pipe into pieces, carefully Calculate the dimensions, including the diameter and length of each segment;
  
  cut plastic pipes hacksaw at an angle of 90 degrees.Sections were stripped of burrs with sandpaper or a sharp knife.

Carrying out installation work.

Since laying sewer pipes, remember that they must have a degree of inclination - it will facilitate the draining of liquid waste.
second important aspect -Size of plastic pipes for sewage systems, and more particularly the diameter.To drain not slaughter waste or various products of human activity, removal of the tube, such as a toilet, should have a minimum diameter of 10 cm. If the pipe is connected to the washing machine, but it will be much smaller.Between them, all these parts are connected by special tees.

By the time the assembly sewer system can take anywhere from several hours to several days, it all depends on the skill of the master and the total length of the communications.Attaching to the pipe fitting (adapter) is as follows: the edge of the pipe is inserted all the way into the adapter (with all parts should be clean, free of mechanical damage).On the other side of the fitting is inserted into another piece of pipe and so on.

sealing of joints is carried out by a rubber gasket (seal) located in the connecting piece.Seal necessarily moistened with special greases, which are sold in any hardware store.If done correctly, you can avoid trouble in the form of leakage or odor.

Another important point is fixing the pipe by means of fasteners.
By following all these rules, you end up with a high quality and durable sewer construction.
