I just installed a system to take the rain water from a new home. I ran 6" SDR 35 gasket joints about 200 feet to a sump filled with stone and installed an overflow in case the stone will not handle all the water.
I ran 4" sch 40 to the house down spouts and hooked to the 6" main, fastened the pipe to the wall under the fittings with clamps to keep the pipe straight and to help prevent settling. On the first 100 ft I just backfilled with the dirt that I dug out, no rocks, I was very careful making a smooth bottom. Up near the house I put 6 to 8" of fine stone or screenings on the pipe before backfilling.
All these pipes are around 2.5 to 3ft in depth. I then ran a rubber track skidsteer over to pack the trench. There should not be any real heavy traffic. A lawn mower or maybe a pickup now and then. I was going to use all sch 40 but the cost was considerably more. Also I had to dig over a couple of places that had been dug before so I dug down to virgin ground and filled with stone and tamped to grade before laying the pipe.
Do you think I will be alright with the SDR 35 pipe? I know there are millions of feet of it in the ground for sewer mains.
