Sewer Intake Extension

I have a lot with a concrete pad that is 12 inches higher than the sewer inlet drain in the ground. I am trying to find a 6-8 inch extension that I can screw into the ground inlet pipe (the one that we all take the sewer cap off to use in campgrounds etc.) I can't find anything anyplace. I have put an extension on the motorhome to lower the hook up to the motorhome. But the pad now is in the way to make the proper angle to the sewer inlet pipe.
  • Assuming 4" fitting, Get a 4' MIPT X 4"ABS glued adapter to screw in, a piece of 4" ABS pipe and a 4" FIPT X 4" ABS glued adapter, Screw the male adapter into the existing, cut the pipe to whatever length you want, glue the three pieces together and you have the extension you want.
    This is assuming it is a 4" sewer pipe. If it is another size then use the correct size of these same parts.
    Home Depot has them on their website, but a good hardware store or plumbing supply will carry them as well.

    Could also be PVC Fittings.
  • Don't understand your problem. Poop runs downhill. Seems like you have exactly what you need. But meanwhile, just look in the plumbing section at Lowes or Home Depot. Take a few pictures, show your problem to them, and they can probably sell you exactly what you need.
