At 23:50 the primering and gluing after the valve fitting look at your video you did not even glue the upslope side of the pipe you put in the fitting. You did primer it kind of but no glue! Watching your gluing and priming very weak, I would love to see your pressure test and see how many of the connections leak. And not sure where your located but where I work auto fail for using a san t on its back for the cleanout. A wye and 45 for a cleanout. But still a informative vid, thank you.

? We will having a septic system with our new build --- Should we include a backwater valve between the inlet of the septic tank and where the drain waste line exits the basement? Will we also need a clean-out along with the back water valve? The one thing we want to add here -- is that the septic leach field will be above the septic tank location by about 40 feet in elevation -- and the system will be a "dosing" system with a sewage pump in a separate chamber which will have it's own backwater valve at the discharge side of the pump chamber. Your answer will be much appreciated. Great VIDEO by the way!

is the backwater valve intended to be installed near the foundation in a yard box with 24/7 access (given the screw top)? I don't need one by code but it seems like a handy way to further future proof my new mainline. Is the main sacrifice that the door needs to be removed if you snake it in the reverse direction?

@medmuscle2 жыл бұрын
According to code, 1/8" is ok for 4" pipe, but many plumbers will just do everything at 1/4" since smaller pipes require the steeper 1/4" pitch due to being more restrictive because of the smaller size. For example, your 2" pipe must have 1/4" pitch.

I can't seem to get my pipe to slide all the way into the the fittings so that it meets up flush with the inside edge of the pipe. I always seem to have a 1/4 inch gap and I'm worried that it will slow down my wastewater and eventually create a backup. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?
