5.12 Plumbing the Tricel Pumping Chamber
The plumbing to and from the plant should be completed by a competent person in accordance with national
regulations and best practices.
The Tricel Pumping Chamber with a Tricel 75 pump and Domo GRI 11 pump will have a 1 ½ Inch outlet
(Philmac compression fitting). The inlet to the pumping chamber will be a 4-inch pipe socket. A 4-inch sewer
pipe is plumbed from the house to the tank with a fall to the tank so sewerage will flow into the pumping
chamber. Ensure the pipework is fitted with the correct fall to ensure there are no blockages. A 1 ½ Inch
hydrodare pipe will be connected to the 1 ½ Inch outlet (Philmac compression fitting) on the tank.

with the correct fall to ensure there are no blockages.
There is a 4-inch socket on the side of the turret where a vent pipe must be connected to. This 4-inch vent
pipe is brought above the surface at a suitable location. A 4-inch vent cover/cowl is to be attached to this 4-
inch vent pipe to prevent debris falling in. Ensure the pumping chamber is vented correctly to prevent the
build-up of smells around the tank.
Grease Trap:
Best practice indicates that a grease trap be fitted before the pumping chamber particularly in applications
where high quantities of grease/fat exist in the wastewater.
