Discharge sump pump into same drain as kitchen sink and laundrytub?

"chrisc" wrote in message ... In my basement near a corner there is a 1 1/2 *pvc pipe running down the wall from the upstairs *kitchen. The laundry tub is also tied into this same pipe and they flow to the right into the sewer. On the far left of the basement is my sump pump. I want to discharge the water to the same spot. It would be about 30 feet. Where the pipe from the pump would enter is about 20" high. Do i need a special slope to angle the water towards the drain? Can it be level? I will have a check valve on it. Is this against some kind of code? Is this enough info? Want any more questions? Thanks . This group is great and lots of help. *I don't know where you live, but in New Jersey it is illegal to have a sump pump discharge into a sanitary sewer line. *Apparently in so doing it would add more volume and consequently more expense to sewer treatment plants. Yes. First thing to do is check if it's allowed or not. Many places it isn't for the very good reason John cites. |
