Septic System Installation · Step 7 of 9
In this video
Connect the main waste pipe from the house to the septic tank's inlet. Within the septic tank, install a sanitary T fitting on the inlet pipe. This fitting serves to diffuse the velocity of incoming waste and promote better separation of solids from the liquid effluent, preventing disturbances to the settled layers in the tank. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight. The high-head pump will be installed in the second compartment of the tank, with its discharge line leading out towards the drain field.
