Posts Tagged ‘turns’

I’m installing a sump pump in my basement which is about 6
feet below ground level and want to run an effluent pipe about 20 feet
horizontally . (ie. the pipe will run 2 feet up from the basin, make 2
right angle turns, head up the basement wall, make another right angle
turn to go through the wall, then another turn and run about 20 feet
or so into the drain pipe away from the house). This is necessary to
locate it at the deepest part of the basement.

My question is: is there are a limit to how many "turns" and the
total distance  of an effluent system ? If so, how is this calculated

thanks in advance.
