One way is to have the drop pipe inside the manhole. The other way is to have the drop pipe outside but next to the manhole. For outside drop pipes, there should be a clean out pipe connecting back to the manhole wall to allow inspection to upstream sewer from inside the manhole. [1]
A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.
A manhole cover is a removable plate forming the lid over the opening of a manhole, an opening large enough for a person to pass through that is used as an access point for an underground vault or pipe. It is designed to prevent anyone or anything from falling in, and to keep out unauthorized persons and material.
A drain cover is a cover with holes (e.g. a manhole) or a grating used to cover a drain, to prevent unwanted entry of foreign objects, or injury to people or animals. It allows drainage of liquids but prevents entry from large solid objects, and thus acts as a coarse filter. A sink drain cover is a drain cover used to cover the sink drain.
Vertical pipes, usually made of precast concrete, called manholes, connect the mains to the surface. Depending upon site application and use, these vertical pipes can be cylindrical, eccentric, or concentric. The manholes are used for access to the sewer pipes for inspection and maintenance, and as a means to vent sewer gases.
In the US, sewers back up annually an estimated 400,000 times, and municipal sewer overflows on 40,000 occasions. [5] [full citation needed] [6] The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that sewer pipe blockages are the leading cause of sewer overflows, and grease is the primary cause of sewer blockages in the United States.
