GREENPLUM

i had to make a repair on some 12" sdr35 without a lift

that small brass fitting leaked a lil and the new tennant wanted it removed



also installed a new 90 at the top

i know alot of guys that run that stuff for storm drainage. I prefer schedule 40.

You did alright with no lift. Be safe....

I will use SDR underground especially push-on joints. Only Sch 40 above ground. But the job looks good.

Same here...

Looks like a nice job though...

Looks like in addition to repairing a leak, you corrected a code violation, namely: someone drilled and tapped a drainage line. That's a no-no.

One question. Where is the clean out?

Guys like you have made me thousands of dollars in sewer repairs. That stuff just loves to crack after a few years. In Davenport Florida, the cable guys and landscapers wreak havoc on that stuff.

we've installed tens of thousands of feet of the stuff, some at depths of 20', and what we buy anyway, has zero history of cracking after a few years, some of the stuff we put in the early 70's is still performing like brand new pipe. my guess it's an installation issue, not a product failure.

Funny you mention inproper installations...

There was a plumbing magazine that did an article on the deterioration on Canadian sewer and water mains. At one point in the article one of the service contractors, who is responsiable to fix broken mains and such, mentioned that almost all of his municipal repairs are a result of inproper installtion.

... just to keep that in mind next time you don't want to compact the dirt underneath that 4" gasketed PVC building sewer

BTW, nice job you picked up, Greenplumb. Nothing complicated about that one. Get in, get out, get paid

Job looks good, & I have personally never used SDR 35 push joints above ground. Lots of underground though.
So I have 2 questions. Don't you have cause to be concerned about that 90 pulling apart, or blowing off during heavy rains, over time?
What if the sewer was to back up, could that 90 hold on ok?
Not critisizing, just asking your opinion.
