Connecting the pressure pipe
2 | Discharge port |
Observe the following information when connecting the pressure pipe:
- Flow rate in the pressure pipe: 0.7 m/s (2.3 ft/s) to 2.3 m/s (7.5 ft/s)!
- Reducing the pipe diameter is not permitted!
- All connections must be completely tight!
- Lay the pressure pipe so that it is protected from frost.
- Install the gate valve.
- Install the discharge line as a “pipe loop” to avoid backflow from the main public sewer.
- At its highest point, the bottom edge of the pipe loop must be above the locally determined backflow level!
