    Sewer hook up to city riser
    Good morning:
    Have a 50' run to city riser, according to my calculations I need to hook up to the riser appx. 12.5" down the riser from ground level to give the run 1/4" per Ft. . What fittings do I need to hook up to a 4"riser? I assume it's a sweep surely not a 90 degrees.
    Thanks in advance
    Mike

    When we run a sewer out to the street raiser we use a 45 degree/ eighth bend fitting to angle down and connect to the city. Good luck, Tom

    Did you know that the rain run off from your SC mountains replenishes a under ground river that feeds the Florida Aquifer? Next month I might just be drinking your rain water.
    Good luck on your sewer hookup, Tom
