is it ok to use pvc in home sewer line?

Answer 1

Sure, from house to sewer or septic and even out to the drain field. Better as a lot of sludge won't stick to it.

Answer 2

Are you on septic system or city sewer? If you are on city sewer...you will need to use the Schedule 40 PVC...that is the heavy duty pipe....plus I would use the heaviest you can anyway...just to make sure it doesn't get crushed.

Answer 3

Best check you local building code. Most places require ABS for sewer lines. Building codes can be a pain, but they are there for a reason and usually it's because what they call for is the best thing for the job.
If you go cheap you will often end up spending more for repairs then doing it right .
