Do you ever use a 4-inch sanitary tee (aka sweep tee)? They have a 90* sweep and take up less space than a traditional wye. Also less fittings. I had to use one on a tight downspout lateral and also use them as directional clean outs. They seem to work well. I'm sure they are not as efficient as a wye, but definitely better than a regular tee.
Nothing wrong with using a sanitary tee if the space is too tight for a combo wye. You sacrifice a little efficiency but that’s not a big deal when it comes to yard drainage 💪
I just realized the company I hired used a T verse a Y, the water has been draining .in the work was done a year and a half ago, but I almost want to call them back and tell them to fix it so the water flows better - but I know that’s not going to happen. Thanks for the video- it was because I was running a sewer snake that I realized they used a T
Is the 4” PVC Sewer and Drain pipe suppose to fit tightly in the NDS 6” round Speed Catch Basin? I am trying to install this basin and the pipe is fitting loosely and I know it’s going to leak.
Good question, and from my experience yes the 6” Sdr35 pvc pipe fits very snug inside those catch basins. I can recommend this solution instead if you are using Sdr35 pipe: Use a Sdr 6” tee fitting that has one hub that is 4” and glue a 6” cab onto one of the 6” sides. Now you have a solid 6” pvc basin with a 4” hub to solvent weld your 4” pipe to and a 6” drain grate will fit onto this tee. There will be zero leaks from this basin.
Thanks for your response. I am not using the SDR 35 I’m using the S&D (sewer and drain) PVC 4”. I wish I could leave a pic on this platform but it doesn’t fit snuggly. I squeezed some Lexel in the gap of the basin that accepts the pipe and screwed a 1/4” self tapping screw into the pipe and then into the basin. I’m going to send some water through it and see what happens. My other option would be put a short run of ABS corrugated solid pipe into the basin and then am adapter to the PVC pipe at every connection.
This guy knows what is he doing! Thanks for the video
Thank you!
Very informative.
🙏

You could certainly fix it yourself. Just keep watching theses videos.
nice. do you have a video on how to connect a wye to a 4 inch sdr35

@@chefjones11 Oh ok that’s why. Those basins are made to fit SDR. Hope we were of some help! ✌️
Where can that particular pop up emitter be purchased from?
Just google French drain man pop up emitter with turf restrictor plate.
I don’t even do drain work but that’s common sense lol I don’t know why people are so mind struck w this info lol
