The important things we must consider when plumbing are:

A suitable plan for where discharge pipes will go


Planning of pipe layout prior to plumbing A suitable supply of water External pipes are Parallel to building Secure pipes

A storage tank

Here water is flowing down

But here water is NOT flowing down as water can not go above gradient line.

Septic Tank

If the tank is not nearby: pipes need to get bigger in diameter as more houses are pumped into the discharge pipe.

It is important that the main discharge pipe is parallel to the building. Pipes 1 & 2 should be at right angles to both the main discharge pipe and the building. But should distance 1 and distance 2 be the same?

Answer: Distance 1 and distance 2 must be the same
