In Reply to: OT --Sept Tank posted by Jiles on March 19, 2014 at 09:39:29:
[quote="Jiles"](quoted from post at 09:39:29 03/19/14) My son is building a garage next to his home. It will possibly have upstairs living quarters in the future, but a few years off.
I advised him to install a septic tank drain pipe to be used "someday".
I know there are many things to consider, such as tank location, but would like to know what the center line of the inlet pipe would be, in relation to the top cover.
In other words, if the tank had 12" of soil covering it, what would be the approximate depth of the inlet pipe?
I told him it would be much better to have the tank installed but money is tight.[/quote]
Here in the northeast, most tanks the inlet invert is about one foot below cover. Don't concern yourself with frost. Pitch in the line from the building to the tank is very important. 2% is the best. Any steeper the water will out run the solids, paper etc. leaving a potential for blockage/ freezing. As long as the pitch is right the water should be in the pipe long enough to freeze. What are your plans after the tank for a leeching field?
