I am working in a project which has 4 sanitary lift stations and we are following International plumbing code. I am having difficulty in understanding the meaning of the following Section of International Plumbing Code. 712.3.5 “Pump connection to the drainage system. Pumps connected to the drainage system shall connect to a building sewer, building drain, soil stack, waste stack or horizontal branch drain. Where the discharge line connects into horizontal drainage piping, the connection shall be made through a wye fitting into the top of the drainage piping and such wye fitting shall be located not less than 10 pipe diameters from the base of any soil stack, waste stack or fixture drain”. I am attaching the drawing of our lift station. Could anyone help me in understand how to connect through a wye fitting. Our force mail is HDPE and the inlet gravity line is uPVC.
