The garage is having a makeover, including getting guttering. What
pipe do I use for the underground run to the outlet for the septic tank
?

Thanks

You don't run rain water to a septic tank. I hope you meant that you are
running the pipe to where the outlet of the tank itself goes..


It should go to a soakaway..or of you are really lucky and the health
and safety lot haven't seen it, into a ditch.

4" standard pipe is adequate.

why do you need to run the garage rain water to your septic tank rain water
goes to a soak away ?

of that, if I do a soak away what piping do I use - seems a bit
unnecessary to use 4" drain pipes.

It does not take much moss etc to block a smaller pipe. I would have
thought it much simpler to be able to fit and forget rather than have to
keep clearing it etc.

Shame your English wasn't better then.

Either use 4" pipe, or 3" flexible. If the run is less than a metre,
you could get away with down pipe.

Not too difficult to understand.

Thanks Chris !

Totally ambiguous. He meant to say:
What pipe do I use ... to the outlet OF the septic tank

Whereas what he said implies:
What pipe do I use ... to the outlet for the septic tank INPUT

Hence all the confusion.
