Recommendation
PVC
200 mm minimum diameter to carry peak flow
rate.
To achieve 0.60 m/s
2.5 to 3.0 m/s
3.0 to 3.5 m minimum
1.8 to 2.4 m
3.0 to 3.5 m maximum
H=D/6 minimum
3.0 m horizontally
0.45 m vertically
When crossing
Straight between manholes
Place at:
-junction of two sewers
-change in vertical alignment
-change in pipe size
-at end of each line
Spacing for straight runs
Effluent elev. = Influent elev. 0.03 m

When inflow and outflow inverts


differ more than 0.6 m
1.2 m minimum
