What diameter should the inlet and outlet of precast distribution boxes be?

3 inches
4 inches
5 inches
6 inches

The correct answer is: 4 inches

The inlet and outlet of precast distribution boxes should have a diameter of 4 inches. This size is based on standard practices in septic system design aimed at ensuring adequate flow and preventing clogging. A 4-inch diameter is typically large enough to accommodate the expected wastewater volume without being too large, which could disrupt the flow dynamics. This standardization helps in maintaining a consistent and efficient operation of the septic system as it balances ease of installation, material availability, and maintaining the necessary hydraulic conditions for proper wastewater distribution. By adhering to this standard size, installers can ensure compatibility and compliance with local regulations and guidelines for septic systems. Choosing an incorrect size could lead to issues such as inadequate flow, potential blockage, or inefficient distribution of effluent.
