Thread: Linking nexus waste into drain

This year I’m looking to connect my nexus drain outlet into main drainage and curios as to how others have done it?
I’ve done a bit of searching on forum but can’t see if it’s been covered before?

Currently I roll out a flexible hose into the nearby (5m) drain and empty it that way but I’ve a few drainage bits left over from other projects and I’d like to come up with something a bit better this year!

I’ve a bit of an idea in mind but wondering if I’m overcomplicating it so I’m keen to see how others have done it

TIA

When I built my pond I added to main drain and ran a soil pipe underground to the filter pit, and then short run of pipework into that. I did add a 'sight glass' in the waste run so I could see if it was bunged up, but fingers crossed so far been fine. Appreciate its not so straightforward doing this once the pond/pit etc is built..

Hi Buddy

I just ran my outlet into a waste pipe where my sink / washing machine waste goes

I was lucky as my pond is gravity, but higher than the drain so all works great.

Good luck as it makes a big difference for cleaning and in the summer trickle in / out

Other option is a pump in a sump with a float switch if wanting to lift the water

Thanks for the input everyone!

My plan is to add a gully next to the nexus and drop the waste into it,I’ll then pipe (110mm) to the nearest gulley (kitchen,which is the end of the run) and I’ll change that gulley for a plastic one to accept the new line so not dissimilar to what most have done I guess

I was thinking that a slightly more cowboy way could be to just bury 40mm waste pipe and drill/break through the side of the current gulley but I already have some 110mm stuff so wouldn’t save much anyway

The patio is just a concrete patio so cutting/digging out a trench for the new pipe and reinstating isn’t much of a job

Is the 50mm pipe pressure solvent stuff mate? As above I did think about 40mm waste pipe but then i thought it should probably be pressure spec to bury it? By the time I’ve forked out for that I wouldn’t save anything-I already have some 110mm underground stuff
