    How to Vent Sewage Ejector System
    I am in the process of installing a basement bathroom that will utilize a sewage ejector system since the sewer main line is above the floor. Since there is no easy chase to run a vent line three stories up to the roof, can I vent through a side exterior wall of the house? Can the line be capped off horizontally or must it end in a vertical run?

    Is it possible to use an auto vent type valve for the system ( the type used for some sinks?)

    Thanks for any help that can be offered.

    The mechanical vent you may be thinking of is a Studor Vent.

Sewage ejector pump [ 5 Answers ]

I think my sewage ejector pump may be bad. The fuse for the pump popped and when I re-set the breaker, the ejector pump turns on for several seconds and then the breaker pops again. Does that mean the pump is gone bad or do I have an electrical problem.
