6 Metres Caravan/Motorhome convoluted Grey Waste Water Pipe - 23.5mm ID

Product Information

Dont know whether any of this makes sense or helps, but I wouldnt do anything permanent until you have used the van a bit. A more modern alternative solution to the pressure problem is to install an Air Admittance Valve instead of a vent pipe. Sometimes known as Durgo Valves, Air Admittance Valves (or AAV's for short) are essentially one-way valves that can be installed at the top of the soil pipe, or along a waste pipe run, to allow the free entry of air into the pipework system to balance out the pressure. The design of these valves is quite clever, as they only open when the siphoning pressure (the negative pressure caused when water flows into the pipes) builds up enough to require balancing, and only in a way that allows clean air to be drawn in without allowing foul air to escape. This is the crucial difference between the valve and the vent. Our ABS (Solvent Weld) waste is manufactured to BS EN 1455-1:2000 / BS 5255 by FloPlast, who is one of the UK market leaders in Above and Below Ground Drainage Technology. Our waste pipe systems are all compatible with our Soil and Drainage systems.

This vent allows air to be drawn in from outside the property to rebalance the pressure in the system rather than from internal sources, thus avoiding the siphoning effect. As previously mentioned, a vent pipes other function is to allow soil system gasses to safely escape out into the atmosphere. For this reason, a vent must, according to building regulations, always terminate above the roofline of the property and be at least 900mm higher than any window or opening that is within 3 meters of the pipe. Conversion Bends - used to create changes in direction while also converting the connection type between push-fit and solvent weld.A waste system, as previously mentioned, is made up of pipes and fittings designed to carry wastewater from sinks, showers, bathtubs, washing machines, and dishwashers out to the sewer. Because these pipes shouldn't have to carry any solid waste away (stop scraping leftover food down the kitchen sink!), they don't need to be as large a diameter as the soil system pipes, meaning that less space is required to install them. The most common waste pipe sizes in the UK are 32mm (suitable for low volume outlets, such as small hand basins), 40mm (suitable for most kitchen sinks, showers, and baths), and 50mm (suitable for more commercial applications, or for connecting multiple waste pipes into a single flow. Dumping our grey water has been a source of embarrassment on more then one occasion with other motorhomes queuing up, drumming their fingers waiting for the paltry flow from our grey waste to finish. Bodily waste produces methane and other unpleasant/dangerous gasses that must be vented out of the system before reaching the sewer. For this reason, soil pipe systems are typically designed to be vented through the roof of your home to allow the gasses to escape out into the air. The wastewater produced by washing your hands, having a shower, washing your clothes, or doing the dishes doesn't produce these gasses however, therefore waste pipe systems don't require this ventilation. Used for Kitchen Sinks and other kitchen appliances such as Washing Machines & Dishwashers, Baths & Showers. Fortunately, if you have an existing system of copper piping but want to make repairs or install additional pipework using plastic pipes and fittings, many manufacturers, such as FloPlast, do have compression waste ranges that can make this happen. If you already have an existing plastic waste system, or are looking to install a new one, the biggest choice you have to make is whether to use Push-Fit or Solvent Weld connections. Again, as with the connection choices for plastic soil systems, we have put together a dedicated article, (Push-Fit or Solvent Weld - which waste pipe system is better) to properly evaluate the uses of each.

A typical plastic waste system (be it Polypropylene Push-Fit or ABS Solvent Weld) will be comprised of 32/40mm pipes and fittings connected to either:

Vent Terminal - fits over the exposed end of the soil vent pipe to prevent large debris, birds, and other small wildlife from entering the system. The tap - https://leisurelines.net/28mm-grey-waste-water-drain-tap-valve-4303-p.asp and the reducer - https://leisurelines.net/28mm-grey-waste-push-fit-male-pipe---25mm-hose-adaptor-j-433-p.asp In the unlikely event of a late delivery, we will be unable to compensate you for any consequential loss, so please do not organise any plant or labour before you have received your materials.

A waste pipe that is installed outside for any length of time should be painted to protect it from discolouration. COMPATIBILITY OF SOLVENT WELD WASTE PIPES Dealing with plastic systems is a lot more straightforward, as most plastic drainage pipes are designed to be compatible with each other regardless of the manufacturer. If they aren't, conversion fittings are usually readily available to make connections as easy as possible. The only caveat to this is that different connection types shouldn't generally be mixed. For soil pipes, the two main connection types are either Ring Seal or Solvent Weld, meaning that if the system you are connecting to is a Solvent Weld system, you should ideally be using Solvent Weld pipes and fittings rather than Ring Seal, and visa-versa. "But what is the difference between these two connection types?" we hear you ask. Well, fortunately enough, we have written a separate article (Ring Seal or Solvent Weld - which soil pipe system is better?) to answer just that. Unless you are a qualified plumber or work in the drainage industry, it is likely that you've never needed to know the difference between the two, as both basically just remove the waste from your home and carry it to the sewer, which is all most of us are concerned about. As long as it works, why should we worry? Hopefully, for most of us, the answer is that we shouldn't need to worry at all. We should be able to run our taps, fill our baths, and flush our toilets in blissful ignorance of the dirty work these unsung heroes of the household system have to do. The problem, however, comes when something goes wrong. Properly maintaining your soil and waste systems is the best way to avoid the need to repair or replace them, and there are a few simple things you can add to your household maintenance routine to achieve this. Has anyone made such a modification? If so how and where did you source the parts and do you have any photos or diagrams of what you did.

I do know that a couple of Globecar owners have had extensions but dont know what they paid. One got a local engineering company to fit a pipe extension. The flexible hose is easily unclipped and popped in the wastemaster. I also have an extended waste hose to use on a serviced pitch. Whilst every reasonable effort shall be made to keep to a delivery date, we cannot be held liable for any losses, costs, damages, or expenses arising directly or indirectly out of any failure to meet any estimated delivery date. Note: the vast majority of properties in the UK still use potable water to refill toilet cisterns after flushing. Therefore, to avoid wasting that precious water, multi-flushing should be reserved for only those times when paper rationing isn’t...practical, shall we say. Alternatively, why not look into getting ahead of the curve and invest in a rainwater harvesting system? You could save money and help the environment by using stored rainwater to fill your toilets and supply your household appliances. Have read of our “What is rainwater harvesting and why is it important?" article to find out more.

Note: If your property uses a sewage treatment plant, septic tank, or cesspool instead of a connection to the mains drains, there must be AT LEAST one open vent in the system to prevent a dangerous build-up of gasses. Solving pressure build-up with an Air Admittance Valve Hiding within the walls and under the floors of your home, there are many different types of pipes coming and going. Some supply you with clean water, and others take away the waste so you don't have to worry about it. While the difference between water pipes and wastewater pipes is quite clear, the difference between soil pipes and waste pipes can be a bit murkier. Certain direct suppliers are able to ship outside of these areas depending on product quantity and availability. Please get in touch with us regarding any such queries. It would be good to have the outlet pipe just under the side of the MH next to the pull handle of the pull valve. I would then be able to drain into a wastemaster or using Flexi pipe on a serviced pitch direct it straight into the drain on the pitch. TWe now have a Globecar Summit Prime and the grey water pipe exit is about 45cm under the van. So fine for drive over but too far under to add a pipe. We are experimenting with our own home made solution. This will be a rigid bit of pipe (rainwater down pipe) with a rt angle end that is wider than the waste pipe. This will be long enough to easily place under at the right place. OH is just working out how to fit something to the end onto which we can fit our normal drain pipe.
