I am designing a septic drainfield to recieve pumped effluent. The drainfield will contain six dead end leaders, each 50-ft long. The estimated flow rate is 40 gpm, or 6. Winning Eleven 2002 Ps1 Iso Ingles Sin Barreras. 7 gpm per leader.

Orifices spaced along the leader will allow the effluent to exit onto the drainfield surface. The regulatory agency requires that the flow from the least effective hole be at least 75% of the flow from the most effective hole. The leaders are 1' diameter and are installed level. I initially estimated that 1/4' diameter holes at 12' on center would provide a nice even flow. However the contractor advises that he is accustomed to providing fewer holes and smaller holes. He is concerned that the openings closest to the pump will have significantly more flow coming out of them than those near the dead end. My thoughts are that the pressure at one end of the 1' leader will be almost the same as the pressure at the other end, since a flow rate of 6.7 gpm in 1' pipe would result in 1 psi drop in the 50-ft length (if the flow rate was constant along the full 50-ft length, which it is not).

Please help if you have any experience with this type of situation. I have a feeling that the design may rely more on experience than on calculated values. RE: Design of pressure line orifices for equal distribution (Civil/Environmental) 17 Nov 08 13:53.

It doesn't sound like your Contractor knows what he is talking about. The gravel is what distributes the flow, not the holes. Holes smaller than ½' diameter would surely plug as well.

You need to contact the local government agency that approves the installation and follow the agencies' guidelines for installation. For gravity distribution systems, pipes must be at least four inches in diameter, and not subject to corrosion or decay (therefore no metal pipes). Perforated pipes must have at least one row of holes, 1/2- to 3/4- inch in diameter, spaced no more than 36 inches apart. These pipes must have a load bearing capacity of more than 1,000 pounds per linear foot. Open joint tile with tile sections 1/4- inch to 1/2-inch apart may be used. Place half-moon concrete or plastic tile on concrete blocks.

Plastic chambers with slotted sidewalls typically used for gravelless systems also may be used, and may be placed directly on the bottom of the trench (Figure 6). Trench: Drain field trenches effectively treat liquid flowing from the septic tank. They are the most economical to install and are preferred when possible.

A drainfield trench is a level excavation 18 to 36 inches wide and up to 100 feet long. The trench contains a perforated pipe in a bed of 3/4-inch to 2-inch diameter rock covered by natural or synthetic permeable fibers. Some soil treatment systems use large plastic tubing or some other chamber wrapped with fabric in the trench in place of rock. A 6- to 12-inch deep layer of topsoil covers the trench. Sewage flows through the holes in the distribution pipe, to the rock (or tube), through the biomat, and into the soil.
