Sump pump drainage pipe is a pipe used to connect sewage pumps and drainage systems. Its main function is to lift sewage from a low place and discharge it to a designated location. When choosing a Sump pump drainage pipe, multiple factors need to be considered, including the pressure resistance of the pipe, the reliability of the installation method, and whether it can withstand the vibration during the operation of the sewage pump.
Function and classification of Sump pump drainage pipe
The function of the Sump pump drainage pipe is to transport wastewater from a low place to a high place for treatment and discharge. According to its use and structure, it can be divided into the following categories:
1. Rainwater pipe: used to collect and discharge rainwater, usually by runoff.
2. Sewage pipe: used to collect and discharge domestic sewage, industrial wastewater and other sewage, usually by gravity flow.
3. Sludge pipe: used to transport sludge and sludge sediment, usually by pumping.
Material
Common materials for Sump pump drainage pipe include hot-dip galvanized steel pipe, PVC pipe, PE pipe, FRP pipe, etc.
Hot-dip galvanized steel pipes are suitable for the drainage needs of household sewage pumps because of their strong pressure resistance, which can generally reach 1.6MPa. In addition, the connection method of galvanized steel pipes is reliable, usually using threaded connection or grooved buckle connection, which is suitable for pipes with a diameter of no more than 110 mm, and has good adaptability to the impact of vibration during the operation of sewage pumps. PVC pipes are widely used in sewage discharge pipe systems because of their corrosion resistance, wear resistance, flame retardancy and relatively low price. PVC pipes are suitable for general sewage treatment plant pump rooms, especially in non-corrosive environments. PE pipes also have good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Compared with PVC pipes, they have stronger pressure resistance, longer service life, and can be recycled, which is suitable for some special sewage treatment plant scenarios. Fiberglass pipes have excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, but the price is relatively high. They are generally used in sewage pipe systems under special environments.
How to choose Sump pump drainage pipe?
When choosing Sump pump drainage pipe, you should consider the pipe material, the reliability of the installation method, whether it can withstand the vibration during the operation of the sewage pump, and the thickness of the pipe diameter and the influence of the material on the drainage effect.
Pipe material: For example, PVC pipes, cast iron pipes, PP HDPE pipes, etc. are all common choices, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different use environments and budget requirements.
Withstand vibration during the operation of the sewage pump: During the operation of the sewage pump, the pump body may vibrate due to the presence of objects in the sewage, which in turn drives the installed connecting pipes to vibrate together. Therefore, the selected pipe should be able to withstand the impact of such vibration and ensure the stability of the interface.
The influence of the thickness and material of the pipe diameter on the drainage effect: The thickness and material of the pipe diameter directly affect the drainage effect. For example, PVC drainage pipes are recommended for their good drainage performance. When selecting, the size of the pipe diameter should be determined according to the specific application scenario and drainage requirements to ensure the best drainage effect.
