The drainage pipes of rural houses are pre-buried in five details, which are not blocked for decades and are worth cherishing
Reasonable ramp design.
In the drainage system of rural buildings, the determination of the slope is essential for the smooth flow of the drainage pipes. The flow of water in the pipes is affected by gravity, so a reasonable slope can ensure a smooth flow of water and avoid clogging. However, the smaller the pipe, the less space there is for the water to flow through, and in order for the water to continue to flow smoothly, a larger slope is needed to help drain the water.
In the case of a 1-meter-long pipe, depending on the size of the pipe, the corresponding downhill needs to be set. For example, for a pipe with a diameter of 50 mm, 2A slope of 5 cm, which means 25% downhill. A pipe with a diameter of 75 mm requires 15% slope, 110 mm diameter pipe requires 12% slope. Therefore, in the process of laying drainage pipes, we should set the slope reasonably according to the size of the pipes to ensure smooth drainage.
The plumbing in the bathroom and kitchen are separated.
Bathroom and kitchen drainage needs and characteristics vary, so in a rural residential drainage system, bathroom and kitchen drains should not share a single water catch. Bathroom wastewater generally contains more impurities and odors, while kitchen wastewater is mainly food scraps and washing water.
If the bathroom and kitchen share a main water pipe, the odor and impurities in the bathroom can easily overflow the kitchen, which not only affects the hygiene of the kitchen, but also may cause the drain to be blocked. In order to ensure hygienic and smooth drainage, we should install the toilet drain and the kitchen drain separately to avoid the problem of cross-contamination between the two.
Minimize pipe elbows.
When installing drainage pipes in rural houses, we should minimize the use of elbows and keep the pipes as straight as possible. This is because elbows increase the resistance of water flow through pipes, which can lead to poor or clogged water flow.
If we need to bend the pipe, we should choose a 135-degree beveled elbow instead of a 90-degree right-angle elbow. This is because the 135-degree elbow has relatively little resistance to the flow of water, which is conducive to the smooth flow of water.
Cover with concrete to protect pipes.
Pipelines are buried underground and are affected by external factors such as soil and moisture for a long time, and are prone to aging and corrosion. In order to prolong the service life of the pipeline, we must cover the outside of the pipe with a layer of concrete in time after the pipe installation is completed, and ensure that the concrete is in close contact with the pipe and does not leave gaps.
In this way, the concrete covering layer can play a role in protecting the pipeline, effectively preventing the erosion of the pipeline by external factors, and prolonging the service life of the pipeline.
Install a water storage curve to keep the indoor air fresh.
The water storage elbow is an important part of the drainage system of rural house construction, it is a U-shaped elbow, which can store a certain amount of water, form a water seal, and prevent sewage from entering the house through the pipe to produce odors and bacteria, etc.
Especially in bathrooms, it is especially important to install a water storage elbow due to frequent contact with the sewer. We must install a water storage elbow on the sewer pipe in the bathroom to ensure that the sewer is effectively isolated from the indoor air. In addition, the elbow must be inspected and cleaned regularly to avoid clogging.
These five details are all very important for the drainage system of rural house construction, as they can guarantee smooth drainage, hygiene and longevity. Therefore, in the process of building a house, we should pay attention to these details, organize and design the drainage system reasonably, and provide a good living environment for residents. Only in this way can the maintenance problems caused by the drainage system be avoided and the life of residents can be more comfortable and convenient.
