Things You Will Need

  • PVC or iron pipe
  • Fittings
  • Rubber boot
  • Hangers or braces
  1. Locate the sewage outlet of the mobile home and the waste water pipe of the sewer system. Determine if the pipes are the same size and acquire pipes and fittings to connect the two points.

  2. Install pipe between the two connection points. PVC or iron pipe can be used and installed according to manufacturer’s instructions. If the pipes cover any lateral distance, pipes running parallel to the ground should include a slope toward the sewer system inlet.

  3. Include a flexible or rubber connection in the system. The boot can be an angled or straight-fitting, depending on the need. The ends of the rubber boot fit over the existing pipes and are held in place with hose clamps.
