Pipes

Today, every house, apartment and other building is equipped with engineering communications. For example, the sewage system is an integral part of every building for the disposal of wastewater. For its implementation is the installation of sewer pipes. Bathroom and other rooms should look beautiful, for this reason, the option of laying pipes of sewage in the floor was invented.

Features of pipe laying

It should be noted that not in all cases it is possible to lay the sewer system in the floor. This is due to ensuring the health of people in certain areas. As a rule, such systems should have a revision through which unpleasant odors can enter the house. So, according to the SNiP, installation of sewerage under the floor is prohibited in such premises:

  • library,
  • grocery store,
  • living room,
  • dining room / kitchen
  • stock,
  • children's room,
  • living rooms
  • Office / administrative premises and the like.

In all other cases, the sewer system can be laid on the floor and poured. Such a system is known as hidden sewage. Given the fact of its inaccessibility, you need to use quality material.

Tip! If you use substandard pipes, then the leakage will have to raise the entire floor structure.

Drainage project in the floor

Before starting the installation work, it is recommended to preliminarily consider everything and, if possible, draw up a scheme / project. For example, if the sewage system will be laid in the bathroom, then it is necessary to determine the number of outlets. For example, it could be:

  • washbasin,
  • bath / shower cubicle
  • toilet,
  • bidet,
  • washing machine.
Scheme of laying sewer pipes

For each of these items you will need to make a conclusion outside. Therefore, you should purchase all the necessary connections: tees, elbows, couplings and the like. When everything is at hand, you can get to work.

During the assembly process it is important to follow some rules that will directly affect the final result.

Do not forget tees and couplings
  • It is imperative to withstand the necessary bias. It should be sufficient to ensure good flow of wastewater.
  • For an O50 pipe, the slope is 3 cm by one meter.
  • For pipe O100 mm, the slope is 2 cm by one meter.
  • Do not connect a sewer line in series. For example, toilet, sink, bathroom. Otherwise it may lead to a breakdown of the water seal with a large flush of water in the toilet.
  • Connecting sanitary and household appliances to the sewage system is best done with a corrugated hose.
  • Pipe connection

    Plumbing connection of sewer plastic pipes

    Special attention should be paid to the joints. Their quality directly affects the duration of operation of the entire system. So, for example, if you purchased PVC or PP sewer pipes, then they have a special socket with a mounting gum. Before connecting pipes it is important to make sure that the gum is in place.

    Tip! In order to achieve the highest quality connection when joining pipes, it is recommended to use a special lubricant or sealant, for example, silicone.

    Provide supports under the joints.

    If the sewer pipes under the floor pass through the wall, then fabricate and install the lens. Provide a reliable support each joint, it can be a brick. This support should be placed under each joint in the sewer system laid under the floor. So you can guarantee the quality after pouring the floor with concrete.

    Merits

    In fact, the installation of sewers under the floor is a brilliant solution that allows you to achieve the aesthetics of the interior of a room. For example, such technology is often used in shower rooms, baths, saunas, and even in the bathrooms of their homes. It is best to do this even when building a house.

    Pipe installation during construction

    If this is the case in your case, then you will be able to achieve the optimal bias of the entire system. In general, this solution comes in the following cases:

    1. In the process of building a house.
    2. In the process of overhaul of the bathroom and bathroom.
    3. With frequent leaks of the external system.
    4. With insufficient slope of the entire sewer system in the house.

    In all these cases, it is necessary to make a decision in favor of laying sewer pipes under the floor.

    Among the advantages of this technology can be identified other factors. For example, when laying sewer pipes in parallel, you can lay water pipes. As in the case of sewage pipes, it is required to monitor every joint in the system.

    Tip! When designing a sewer system, it is important to think through each dock. They should not have sharp turns and corners. Even worse is the presence of krugulla.

    The joint of plastic and cast iron pipes

    If you have to dock new PVC or PP pipes with old cast-iron pipes in the floor, then you also need to pay special attention to this point. As a rule, a special plastic junction and rubber cuffs are used for docking. When pouring the screed, you need to check this connection, just like every other. Therefore, pour plenty of water into the constructed sewer system.

    So, we have reviewed with you all the features of the installation of sewer pipes hidden method. In fact, all the work can be done by hand. Here the most important thing is to stick to the appropriate angle and make a quality connection of each joint. If you have personal experience of mounting such an engineering network, then write to us about it.
