Thread: Bottom drain line and rodding point

Not far off installing the my bottom drain line. It will be a 3 Metre run with a 90° to a T. Then T will have an upright above the water level for rodding and an overflow. Then from the T will be another T to a purge valve and then onto another 90° into my nexus. I'm fitting the rodding/standpipe mainly for the overflow.

Is this a sound plan? Am I missing anything obvious?

I have 2 100mm bottom drains with separate air line feeds thru to a T up into a nexus 320. Each line in has a 100mm ball valve so you can separately purge each line, not requiring any rodding point.I drain off about 8% a day in cleaning the system
