About this deal

I usually find that when I arrive on pitch there are 2 or 3 other MHs queuing for water at the service point. When I’m ready to leave there is usually 1 or 2 MHs queuing to empty grey water. So I carry a wastemaster (light when empty) and empty the night before we leave, or first thing at my leisure. I also carry a 25 litre fresh water carrier (light when empty) which, using my Bailey submersible pump helps me fill at my leisure without moving the MH.

METRIC: A versatile pressure system rated to 16bar excellent range of pipe fittings for glue and threaded fittings, more economical than imperial system Use for water and chemicals. 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. T Tees - used to connect two waste pipes (single Tee) or three waste pipes (Cross Tee) together at a 92.5-degree angle.

CHOICE OF COLOURS

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. Find the outside diameter of your pipe to the nearest millimetre, use a tape meaasure or vernier gauge. Then find this size down the left hand column, read across the four coloured columns on the right to find the group and description of your size pipe. If your size only appears in one column, look at the top of that column to see which group it is - metric, imperial, solvent or push fit. If your pipe size appears in more than one column then it will work with all these groups. If the pipe is grey it is more likely to be pressure pipe. But please feel free to ask if you are uncertain. 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 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.

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 Dont know whether any of this makes sense or helps, but I wouldnt do anything permanent until you have used the van a bit. Weathering Collar - used to divert rainwater away from falling directly onto the weathering slate to provide extra protection. Conversion Bends - used to create changes in direction while also converting the connection type between push-fit and solvent weld.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. We 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.

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:Delivery to non-Industrial Scotland, Northern Ireland, and CH, LL, and CA postcodes can sometimes take slightly longer, although this is dependent upon the exact location. 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. Pipe Sizes and descriptions can be confusing, usually because the actual pipe size bears no resemblance to its' description.

Anyway, my question is...The Pilote Motorhome has a slide dump system for the Grey Water tank. This is ok if you can park over a disposal point. I would like to fit an extra outlet from the waste water tank so I can run it out into a wastemaster to save moving the MH every time I need to empty it. Plus we usually look for fully serviced pitches...

 

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. Traditionally, most waste pipes used to be made from either copper, iron, or lead, and many properties may still have systems that are at least partially comprised of these materials. Copper is actually still quite popular today, among some professionals, as the pipes can be made to fit into tighter spaces, are more flexible at the joints (therefore offer good resistance to vibration damage), and have a certain premium aesthetic appeal. The more modern alternative to copper waste pipes, however, is plastic. Each have their own pro's and con's, but the popularity of plastic pipes has grown exponentially due to the fact that they are much less expensive than copper pipes, easier to install, more resistant to corrosion and impact damage, and quieter at high pressure and water speeds. 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.
