    I just wondered what diameter pipe is needed for septic tank emptying tankers? Is 110mm adequate or should I go to a larger size?
    For the tank I'm using I plan to install 3 emptying points, the centre one to be vented, I thought about using this for the other 2:

    I'm not too worried about regulations, as whatever I do will be better than what is there now. There is a bathroom with a waste pipe that is just emptying straight onto the land! In UK this would be deemed unfit for human habitation but my house is in a very rural location in Croatia.

    110 is ok, house drain pipes are 100 and take the standard **** size so there will be no problem when sucking out with a tanker. But you will not get a flexible suction hose down the proposed fitting.I would put 450 inspection covers and then the tanker man can drop what ever size hose he wants to
