TAPS Material types: Taps The portion of the lower lateral in the right-of-way or public easement shall be installed at a 90-degree angle to the sewer main with a wye-connection oriented in the direction of flow in the main. The wye-connection shall be installed a minimum of 3 feet from a manhole, and 5 feet from a lamp-hole (sewer main clean-out). The minimum horizontal distances between adjacent sewer lateral connections shall be: a) Laterals on the same side of the street/sewer 10(ten) feet b) Laterals on the opposiste side of the street/sewer 5 (five) feet Tap materials for the corresponding main sewer ACP Fowler saddle RCP Insert a wye CIP, DIP Fowler saddle Sealtite type S saddle with 4 band coupling HDPE Insert a wye VCP Insert a wye All other taps shall be performed by Tap-tite or Roto rooter. Where possible, taps shall be installed above the springline of pipe at an angle not to exceed 45 degrees from the horizontal. Effort shall be made to install tap fitting and saddles with a 45 degree (wye) configuration to facilitate continuous flow velocities into the main. Straight taps can cause hydraulic jump which can cause solids to drop off and accumulate in the main. TRANSVERSE SECTION 45 min.

EBMUD Private Sewer Lateral Ordinance How to Prevent Backup from City Main & Protect Your Home Things to Consider when Replacing Sewer Laterals in Multistory Dwellings When owners of a multistory dwelling are required to replace their private sewer lateral, it may be determined that the lowest floor is below the upstream manhole cover. This condition can cause flooding of the building if the sewer main has a blockage. 1 Sewer overflow device Pop-up ball to elimate emission of odors & access of rodents see lower left drawing Remove standard cleanout plug Finish grade 3 Lowest floor in structure 2 ft. max. to bldg. 6 in. min. 3 in. min. 1 2 Current code requires that only fixtures below the manhole cover drain through the backwater valve. This prevents occupants on upper floors from flooding the lower floor accidently. Since this would require an expensive re-plumbing of existing buildings, the city will require the use of a sewer overflow device in addition to a backwater valve to prevent both a backup from the main City sewer and the accidental flooding of the lower floor by owners unaware that there is a blockage in the sewer. It will also protect the building in case of blockages in their own private sewer lateral 2 Backwater valve Flap prevents water entry Standard cleanout 4 in. min. A sewer overflow device per the approved materials list is required on ALL side sewer connections and repairs and/or alternations on existing side sewers. Lowest floor in structure 3 The specific location of the sewer overflow device shall be determined by the contractor and the property owner such that the top location of the overflow device is a minimum of 6 inches below the lowest finished floor elevation of the connected building. 1 Sewer overflow device Finish grade 6 in. min. 3 2 ft. max. to bldg.
