The diameter and the size of PVC pipes for sewerage

properties of plastic sewer pipes

Assortment any pipes for sewage systems is regulated by the normative documents (GOST), so in some cases, can even the combined installation of pipeline sections made of different materials.Proven by decades of quality cast iron sewer pipes, we have already discussed, it is time to turn to their contemporary rivals - plastic fans pipelines.

Let's see what we have in the process of installation and initial operation of plastic piping.

• minimal problems at the stage of transportation, warehousing and transportation segments for future pipeline network: the weight of a six-meter PVC pipe 90 mm in diameter is only 10 kg;
• available set of adapters for all diameters PVC pipes for the branch and branch sewers;
• ease of installation, both pressure and non-pressure sewerage systems;
• relatively high strength and hydrodynamic qualities;
• nearly absolute neutrality of corrosion: corrosive chemicals (acids, alkalis, surfactants) on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and PVC pipes of any diameter is minimized;
• relatively small coefficient of thermal expansion that the recessed gasket guarantees the integrity and alignment of joints.

Saying we will not be about the disadvantages as foreseeable 30 years working trial - short term and plastic production technology improved.Perhaps the producers have already found the perfect composite synthetic material, which is unknown to us.

Standards Use PVC sewer pipes

main technical characteristics, diameter, and an assortment of products from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and other plastic pipes in sanitary sewer systems is defined GOST 51613-2000 (for pressure variations) and WPC 48-96 (with no pressure pumping domestic sewage).Note that in accordance with GOST, these products are positioned as water pipes, but their use in the channels of sewage does not specified.

assortment of non-pressure sewage pipes in PVC is limited to only three standard sizes: diameter 50, 90 and 110 mm, which is sufficient for the installation of a full-fledged network engineering drainage of house wastewater.

Gauge pressure is much broader constructions (size range of variability is represented by 13 positions from 63 to 315), but in the construction practice commonly used standard set:

• PVC sewer pipe 75 to the drain terminal of the bathrooms in the house;
• diameter of 100 and 110 - for the arrangement of the vertical risers;
• branch pipes the size of 150-160 mm in the sewer or septic tank.

If you do not plan to carry out installation of equipment for the outlet with your hands, just trust the designers and builders, sometimes sagely controlling their work.Consider yourself a professional, then count communicating sections (size of sewer pipes) and hydraulic resistance of its own network.

it better to cast or plastic

question at the same time simple and complex.It all depends on the conditions and challenges that must be solved sewer network.Consider two options.

1. Capital Construction, and to that include the majority of country cottages, requires not only a major cost, and thoroughness in the choice of building materials.Two bathrooms, dishwasher, washing machine, kitchen and outdoor sink plus permanent residence.Estimate the amount of waste water and encourage designers to calculate the wiring cast-iron sewer pipes.
2. Garden house for a holiday with a toilet in the yard.The load on the fans pipelines is minimal, it can solve even the superficial distributing non-pressure sewer polyethylene pipes of small diameter, choose the dimensions and mount them you can with your hands.Almost no installation problems with a very affordable price.

Simply put, a home - a technological style, and this diversity we even happy.
