How to Connect a Trailer Residential Septic System

* 4-inch PVC pipe

* Two 4-inch PVC couplings

* One 4-inch PVC T-fitting

* Two 4-inch PVC 90-degree elbows

* Two 4-inch PVC end caps

* PVC cement

* Gravel

* Soil

Instructions:

1. Dig a trench from the trailer to the septic tank. The trench should be at least 4 feet deep.

2. Lay the 4-inch PVC pipe in the trench. Connect the pipe sections together using the couplings.

3. Connect the T-fitting to the main line of the trailer RV waste lines, just a few inches ahead of the dump valve of the tank. Connect to the top part of the tee fitting. To the second and bottom openings of the tees fitting connect them to both lines that come with the trailer kit that will later dump your gray and black water to the 4in residential RV line and to the ground and your garden and or potted plants respectively or just dump to ground like your old setup if not interested.

4. Attach the 90-degree elbows to the ends of the pipe. The elbows should point up.

5. Connect the end caps to the ends of the elbows.

6. Cover the pipe with gravel. Place soil. You are done. You can now tow your fifth-wheel with a septic system.

*Note- It may be good practice to always keep some RV fluid down the septic pipe to fight odors or any gunk accumulating inside. *
