Head pressure on forced mains
Head pressure on forced mains
(OP)
Problem: I'm in the AirForce stationed in Guam im incharge of the installin the water and sewer lines. Im running a 8" sewer line that is partialy a forced main. I am also ordering threw a middle man, so I dont really get to see the spec's on my parts comming in. I am trying to max my forced main but I dont have a clue how far a typical station will pump! the grade is .7% And I plan on a slope of 1/16"/ft I cant find any code against it however, the UPC advises it only in building sewers not exterior use.
can anyone shine a light on this?

As mentioned by francesca above, you need this information to determine just what intererelationships are present in any pressure/gravity system.
This is a problem that can't possibly be "typed" out in a post!
