6 Metres Caravan/Motorhome convoluted Grey Waste Water Pipe - 23.5mm ID

Product Information

We now have a Globecar Summit Prime and the grey water pipe exit is about 45cm under the van. So fine for drive over but too far under to add a pipe. We are experimenting with our own home made solution. This will be a rigid bit of pipe (rainwater down pipe) with a rt angle end that is wider than the waste pipe. This will be long enough to easily place under at the right place. OH is just working out how to fit something to the end onto which we can fit our normal drain pipe. METRIC: A versatile pressure system rated to 16bar excellent range of pipe fittings for glue and threaded fittings, more economical than imperial system Use for water and chemicals. Find the outside diameter of your pipe to the nearest millimetre, use a tape meaasure or vernier gauge. Then find this size down the left hand column, read across the four coloured columns on the right to find the group and description of your size pipe. If your size only appears in one column, look at the top of that column to see which group it is - metric, imperial, solvent or push fit. If your pipe size appears in more than one column then it will work with all these groups. If the pipe is grey it is more likely to be pressure pipe. But please feel free to ask if you are uncertain. Note: the vast majority of properties in the UK still use potable water to refill toilet cisterns after flushing. Therefore, to avoid wasting that precious water, multi-flushing should be reserved for only those times when paper rationing isn’t...practical, shall we say. Alternatively, why not look into getting ahead of the curve and invest in a rainwater harvesting system? You could save money and help the environment by using stored rainwater to fill your toilets and supply your household appliances. Have read of our “What is rainwater harvesting and why is it important?" article to find out more.

Dumping our grey water has been a source of embarrassment on more then one occasion with other motorhomes queuing up, drumming their fingers waiting for the paltry flow from our grey waste to finish. Tees - used to connect two waste pipes (single Tee) or three waste pipes (Cross Tee) together at a 92.5-degree angle. Traditionally, most waste pipes used to be made from either copper, iron, or lead, and many properties may still have systems that are at least partially comprised of these materials. Copper is actually still quite popular today, among some professionals, as the pipes can be made to fit into tighter spaces, are more flexible at the joints (therefore offer good resistance to vibration damage), and have a certain premium aesthetic appeal. The more modern alternative to copper waste pipes, however, is plastic. Each have their own pro's and con's, but the popularity of plastic pipes has grown exponentially due to the fact that they are much less expensive than copper pipes, easier to install, more resistant to corrosion and impact damage, and quieter at high pressure and water speeds. Has anyone made such a modification? If so how and where did you source the parts and do you have any photos or diagrams of what you did.

A typical plastic waste system (be it Polypropylene Push-Fit or ABS Solvent Weld) will be comprised of 32/40mm pipes and fittings connected to either: Fortunately, if you have an existing system of copper piping but want to make repairs or install additional pipework using plastic pipes and fittings, many manufacturers, such as FloPlast, do have compression waste ranges that can make this happen. If you already have an existing plastic waste system, or are looking to install a new one, the biggest choice you have to make is whether to use Push-Fit or Solvent Weld connections. Again, as with the connection choices for plastic soil systems, we have put together a dedicated article, (Push-Fit or Solvent Weld - which waste pipe system is better) to properly evaluate the uses of each.

A waste pipe that is installed outside for any length of time should be painted to protect it from discolouration. COMPATIBILITY OF SOLVENT WELD WASTE PIPES We have just changes our van from an A/S Broadway which had the grey water opening at the side and we could easily fit a pipe over it to drain into hedges etc on CLs (where owner requested, of course) or use to dump into a drain that was not a drive over.Pipe Sizes and descriptions can be confusing, usually because the actual pipe size bears no resemblance to its' description.
