Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Well.. after getting 3 estimates and watching you tube vids per Sewer line....

4" iron correct?

I figure getting that 1.5 " back on the beginning of the 1st section of pipe at the house is gonna help me with a better slope than now over the whole run spread out???

It has too...🤔🤷‍♂️🤔
At least speed up water flow intially some more than now into the rest of the pipe runs slope.

Yes.

This...
I just don't know how to word this stuff.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I can cover up the area around the house with dirt 3 to 5 inches more than current level.
The clean out and house pipe were not but 2 inches under ground to begin with..
🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😡🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
I just need to know what to use so the bottom of the iron pipe is same level as bottom of the pvc hook up to get that 1.5" I'm being robbed of right now.
For more elevation at start of run and give me some more slope from the start.

Pard,just use the fernco(blk rubber boot) that's in the middle of the run ,,at the start.
Move that clean out back away from house to where the pvc coupling is,looks like a glue joint.
Use that coupling where the fernco was,(as long as that first coupling is not glued(thought you said some were not glued.
You scored the 4' pc from the ditch if you need a little pc.
Easy peasy Pard.

Edit to add,,all you need to buy for now is glue and primer,get some good purple primer and some medium duty glue

you will need the bigger cans of glue,this is for illustration.

I would use this, a short stub of 4" pvc and then a no hub connector to the cast iron.

But it sounds like you already have too many armchair QB's

Brain fart on my end suggesting an offset.


Yes you want a straight 4" iron to 4" pvc Fernco. Help to know whether ductile iron or cast iron. OD will be different.

Make sure you get the iron and pvc as close together as possible.

Get one of the city guys to bring his pipe tape by and measure OD, this will tell you whether cast or ductile. Or buy 1 of each and take the unused back.

Something like this.

Arm chair qb's?? ,that's a 4x3 reducer

Was it snowing? Both ways?

Thanks guys.
For the links and pics.

Now what to look for now and how it should transition into the clean out now.
Exit side of clean out will be the pipe

Entry side of clean out will be a section of pipe into house connector.


And not this abortion that exist currently.


Digging tommorow.
Might find a drop into the city line.
Which would be great in conjunction with fixing up the line coming out of the house.
If the pipe is straight into the city I can still gain intial height from the house.

Good luck r50. With all the work you put into this the 1st dump should be like a ship launch.

R50, do you have a good plumbing supply house local?

👍🏻🤣🤣👍🏻

The toilets are flushing fine since I got the long bowed section uncovered and it sprung up having the pressure taking off it from The Flakka crew install before I bought the place.
Started manifesting itself about little over a year ago.
I blew it off.
Get it done now before turkey season...

All matter of doing the work correct within the parameters of the house main, geography, and the slope I can get now per the advice from many I have gotten on here.

Be nice to find a bend into the city line digging tommorow.
I can get more slope if that happens.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Got home depot.

Kenney Pipe and supply over by the DMV which is a contractor supplier.


👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ol boys at Kenney may be of help if you can buy from them.

As well as your local pard, Slummy.

IDR whom but someone commented that the wallet is the best toolbox. He wasn’t wrong but when DIY frees up money for more nicer guns DIY makes sense.

27 pages in I’d be cursing on a Sunday and questioning the decision.

It's better with some relaxing muzak.

It’s cast

About the only thing in our city spec that calls for ductile is fire service, heavy traffic, and transmission pipeline.

And they are squeezing c-900 in wherever the engineer will allow.
