Forcemain connection to Gravity Pipe

Forcemain connection to Gravity Pipe

(OP)
Hi,

We have an individual house pump station that has a 1 1/4" discharge forcemain line. Does anyone have any detail or fitting information on how to connect this 1 1/4" to an existing 6" gravity sewer line in the main street?
Thx

With a manhole. Call the owner of the gravity line.

Thanks Richard,

We can't go to the manhole and have to connect into an existing sewer.

RE: Forcemain connection to Gravity Pipe

construct a new manhole and then gravity drain to the existing sewer

RE: Forcemain connection to Gravity Pipe

The normal way is to discharge the forcemain into a manhole and then gravity drain from the manhole to the sewer.

Why is this issue coming up now? Is this a new house service connection?
