Home - Waste Dump

Thanks for all of the quick responses. I’m connected to city sewer and already have a “y” connector under the house in the Crawlspace. We are extending the cleanout through a vent cover. We decided to use a 4” cap. I already have a Flojet macerator and also want to be able to use the 3” hose if needed. I think that we have it covered.

buy a macerator and just send it down the toilet. or a 2 inch line will work for the hose.

I "sent it down the toilet" and smelled up the house. Never again.

I installed a 3" line for my macerator and it works fine.

If you have a septic tank, there should be a line in, a line out and a cleanout in the lid. You don't want to dump in that cleanout, instead you should have a tee in the line that goes in. I suspect that your "cleanout" is a Y on the pipe from the house to the septic tank and that would be fine for dumping as long as you maintain a capped Y for future clogging issues. For your dump line, 3" or 4" is fine, the most common size is 4".

In my area they are pushing for installation of a manhole in the tank lid so it can be properly inspected. Yes, pumping and inspection is now required.

Mine is 4" but yours should be what ever size pipe that you connecting to.

We don't have one at home, but at the shop ours is 4"

I have a 4" pvc line for my cleanout, works fine.

sewer clean-out access are almost always at least 6"...ours at home is. i have our line cleaned out annually to prevent nasty backups. the guys were here yesterday and used a 6" cutter.

I'm thinking the plumber would decide that but I think ours is at least four inches; probably more like 6.
