Drainage Connection

The physical connection of new drainage pipes from the extension to the existing drainage system. New connections must be made using the correct type of pipe and fittings (typically 110 mm PVC-U foul drain), at an adequate invert level to maintain minimum gradient (typically 1:80 for foul drains), and with an inspection chamber at every junction. Connections to public sewers require sewerage undertaker approval.
