(A) Joints and connections. All joints and connections shall be made gastight and watertight.
(1983 Code, § 21-52)
(B) Location of connections.
(1) The connection of the building sewer into the public sewer main shall be made at the “Y” branch, if such a branch is available at a suitable location. If the public sewer is 12 inches in diameter or less, and no properly located Y branch is available, the owner shall, at his or her expense, install a Y branch in the public sewer at the location specified by the Superintendent. Where the public sewer is greater than 12 inches in diameter, and no properly located Y branch is available, a neat, machined hole may be cut into the public sewer to receive the building sewer, with entry in the downstream direction at an angle of about 45 degrees. A 45-degree ell may be used to make this connection with the spigot end cut so as not to extend past the inner surface of the public sewer. The invert of the building sewer at the point of connection shall be at the same or at a higher elevation than the invert of the public sewer, but no higher than a point 1/2 the vertical distance between the invert and the crown of the sewer. A smooth, neat joint shall be made, and the connection made secure and watertight by encasement in concrete. Special fittings may be used for the connection only when approved by the Superintendent. Manholes shall be constructed at any junction of an 8-inch diameter or larger building sewer into a public sewer.
(2) No building sewer connection shall be made in a manhole unless the manhole is designed and constructed to receive that building sewer.
