Running the DIY Cabin Sewer Line to the Septic Tank - EP 8
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- Time to connect to the septic tank, I am running the sewer line ahead of framing the cabin so that I can easily dig a trench and install the piping. Make sure to select the right king of sewer line as you will find numerous options at the store (I mistakenly bought the wrong kind initially). I am showing you how I got the work done step by step, helping you to realize that it's not that difficult if you take the time to do it right.
I am Tristan, I am building a 400 SF cabin at the back of my house. I plan on doing it all by myself. I plan on sharing this journey here on UA-cam where I will show you every step of the way, all the struggles I run into and everything I will learn from this experience. I will then rent the cabin as a short term rental in hope of covering most, if not, all my house mortgage (House Hacking). Follow me here as this will absolutely be one of a kind journey.

Thanks for sharing with other "beginners" ! it will save us time and maybe money !
You are welcome!
This was a perfect video for myself as a beginner--I needed the talking and have a whole paper if notes. My husband and I arw going to build a cob home, but first, will make a "water closet" to try our building skills. So, before work, I'm learning plumbing from your video--thank you so much!
Very glad to hear that! Thanks
Tristan, being a novice who wants to also build my own cabin, I have to tell you that your videos are probably the best I have watched so far! I very much appreciate the explanation and details you go into. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot! It always means a lot to get comments like those as I put so much effort in those videos 😂
What size cabin were you looking to build ?
You should always mark as position line in fittings before taking them apart to glue...that way it eliminates the guess work and angle mistakes. Good video and you're not afraid to say 'I was wrong!". Good job.
Thanks!
I think it’s common around here, Ontario, to lay a bed of sand for ease of leveling n also back fill with sand to about a few inches above the pipe as a flag for any future digging so you’re less likely to put a shovel through the pipe.
Makes sense !
Tristan, codes differ, but PVC-DWV pipe should be used inside the cabin to gather drainage from your fixtures, and when your line leaves the cabin to run outside to the septic tank, transition to the gasketed 3034 green sewer pipe.
Fall is minimum 1/4-inch per foot. Love the series!
Indeed I wasn’t aware, as you can see in the video, the professional septic installer did use pvc dwv to connect to the septic tank he installed.
Thank you for the series!
You’re welcome! Glad you’re enjoying it.
I've done a lot of plumbing and I still fall back on choosing the pipe by way of examining the existing pipe, or even better having a piece of the existing pipe with me in the store to make sure that what I'm getting is going to fit.
Yeah I wished I had dug up the pipe first to check it before buying the wrong kind 😐
Love your channel. Your very informative.This is greatly going to help me, and my project. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! What are you planning on building ?
My property line is next to Conservation land and I’m planning on building a cabin. Hopefully off grid.
I agree. You explain things very well. I'm planning to build a cabin in Missouri.
ALWAYS....DWV schedule 40!!!
BTW....DWV stands for Drain, Waste, Vent
I know now
The green version is works fine, is thinner walled and costs less than DWV. It's called SDR35 sewer pipe. It lasts a long time.
Insteresting! I was so confused by all the options but at the end, because the septic installer had used DWV, I had no choice
Love this channel. I'll be doing the same thing next year. For the permit process, does a complete set of plans need to be submitted first before beginning construction,such as the septic tank?
Everything will be different depending on your city/county.
I had to do the septic first with the health department then the building permit with the city. Typically you will need a set of plans to provide them.
Weird the installer didn’t cap the line🤔
I'm guessing you don't have to have your sewer lines inspected before you bury them here we can't backfill anything unless it's inspected
I think I don’t, I HOPE I don’t. When I spoke to the septic system city inspector he pretty much told me that he only cares about the septic system, not the line feeding into it.
Im hoping that the plumbing inspection won’t care about it either
Why not a 45 degree for cleanout access instead of a harder to navigagte 90?
I guess that’s all I could think about at the moment
Too much talking stuff
😅
I disagree- he’s helping beginners so it’s good 👌
@@TheDIYCabinGuyit’s not too much, he’s just gotta complain about something and that’s all he could find to complain about; which is a HUGE compliment to you!
