Facing DOWN and hopefully covered with some type of liner to precent the lines from being filled with mud BUT will allow water to infiltrate
No, that is why it is called a vent pipe not a soil line
It is a trench filled with gravel or rock containing a perforated pipe that redirects surface and groundwater away from an area. Generally used for keeping water away from building foundations. They can also be used behind retaining walls to relieve ground water pressure

You can put up to a 2 inch pipe into a 4 inch. If you are putting 4 inch to 4 inch, either take out a section of the cast and put the PVC in or cut out a section and connect the PVC to the cast with rubber sleeves meant for this. You can use a saddle clamp for the 2 inch. It is a half round piece of PVC with a 2 inch connection in it. It is held on with two U bolts that go around the cast pipe. Put it where you need it and mark the 2 inch hole on the cast. Drill a series of 1/8 inch holes around this circle. when you get them all drilled, you can break out the plug. Try to keep it from falling into the cast pipe. Put the saddle clamp on and connect the PVC pipe as needed. Seal the saddle clamp to the cast pipe with plumbers putty.

To install perforated PVC pipe for drainage in a residential yard, follow these best practices: Dig a trench at a slight slope to direct water flow. Place a layer of gravel at the bottom of the trench for stability. Lay the perforated PVC pipe in the trench with the holes facing down. Connect the pipe to a drainage outlet or a catch basin. Cover the pipe with more gravel and then backfill the trench with soil. Ensure the pipe is properly sloped for efficient drainage.
Perforated pipes are used in various applications such as drainage systems, agricultural irrigation, and groundwater recharge. The perforations in the pipe allow water to enter or exit the pipe, depending on the application. In a drainage system, for example, the perforated pipe helps to remove excess water from the soil and prevent waterlogging.
Perforated pipes in a French drain system allow water to enter the pipe through the holes, which helps to efficiently collect and redirect excess water away from an area. This helps prevent water buildup, reduces the risk of flooding, and helps maintain the stability and integrity of the surrounding soil and structures.
yes it is, so long as you can provide a way for excess drainage of moisture, such as perforated pipe or plenty of holes drilled with a masonary bit. anything you can imagine to disperse the water.
Perforated sock pipes for drainage systems provide improved filtration, prevent clogging, and enhance water flow. The sock acts as a barrier to prevent soil and debris from entering the pipe, ensuring efficient drainage and reducing maintenance needs.
Using a perforated pipe with a sock in drainage systems helps to prevent clogging and filter out debris, allowing for better water flow and reducing the risk of waterlogging. This can help to protect the surrounding soil and structures from water damage, improving overall drainage efficiency.
