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.

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...The flexible hose is easily unclipped and popped in the wastemaster. I also have an extended waste hose to use on a serviced pitch. 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. 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. 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. Weathering Collar - used to divert rainwater away from falling directly onto the weathering slate to provide extra protection.

Pipe Sizes and descriptions can be confusing, usually because the actual pipe size bears no resemblance to its' description. 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. 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. 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.

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. The end of the pipe should be cut squarely and any burrs and dust should be removed. Using our SC250 Solvent Cement, apply a generous amount of cement to both the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting. Push the pipe firmly into the fitting and give it a twist to ensure that the cement is well spread. Wipe off any excess cement with a clean damp cloth. Allow 5 minutes for the joint to set before handling, and as a precaution, we would advise leaving the installation for 12 hours before water testing. Joints that have been made with solvent weld cannot be taken apart again. CHOICE OF COLOURS

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.

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
