Need advice running a drain line through a crawlspace where it will either have a near 20ft horizontal run with a small rise at the end, or a 20ft slope with a tall rise at the end.
The rise is necessary to get the drain line up over the brick foundation into the room where the sump will be, which is an outside utility room with a concrete floor.
Flow rate about 1000-1500 gph. I will have two 3/4" pipes and two 1" pipes available for use and I want to do a "bean animal" style for minimal gurgling in the house where the 120g main tank will live.
See poorly drawn sketch attached. I'm cabinet maker but not a drafter.
How do I rig the drain properly? Should I run it as drawn horizontal (small jump) or slope it to the ground (big jump)?
I'm thinking that at 1000 to 1500gph, using a 3/4 as the main full siphon drain will give best chance of blowing out the trapped air in the rise.
Listing out the plumbing here:
1 full siphon drain w/valve, 3/4 pvc.
1 secondary "trickle" drain 3/4" pvc
1 backup drain, 1" pvc
1 pump supply line, 1" pvc
Thoughts?
Regarding heat loss, I live in Charleston SC so I'm confident that basic plumbing insulation will suffice here.
