How deep must you bury a 3-inch ABS drain pipe going to a bathroom addition?

It depends on the code requirement (if your jurisdiction has enacted a code) for where you live. Where I live the minimum-bury code requirement is one foot. (UPC). I am a little puzzled by your question, though. Minimum-bury requirements are for OUTSIDE the structure, and you say this is a bathroom addition. Crawl-space or slab.....no bury requirement at all.


How do you bury something underwater?

Great question they have a Tubacial pipe what runs from a station and deep under the sand, they put specials hollow marks on the thing there burrying but they don't do it so often anymore back in the olden days they did when a town was pollutated they would put some under the sand. But how did they get the tube down there? By an underwater cave they put it in the cave and since the water was so deep it went all the way down into the sand since the pipe was soo strong.

How deep in North Carolina should we bury the water line from the house to the outside meter?

The water line must be below the frost line... so I would go 48" and be SURE to pad the line.... best to put it inside a larger plastic schedule 40 pipe to prevent crush and stabbing by rocks, shovels. Pay attention to corrosion protection if metal is used, by wrapping. When entering the structure, use a protective sleeve (schedule 40?)


How many gallons of water in a 2 pipe 30' long?

There is no obvious reason why there should be any water in the pipe. Furthermore, there are no units associated with the width of the pipe, so its volume cannot be calculated.


Underwater pressure--Can you make water flow upward continuously if you vertically submerge one end of a 1-inch pipe 10 meters or more under seawater?

Yes....that is the water will flow up the pipe until it reaches the level of the water and stop. I don't get it. At the surface level the pressure is supposed to be 14.7 psi; doubled at 10 meters deep. If submerging a pipe deep enough for a significant pressure difference, can we harness the continuous upward flow of water for some application?
