ABSTRACT:
A narrow-accessway sewage collection tank assembly and system using a remote operated, two-part, slide coupling for supporting a sewage pump within an enlarged collection tank for installation outside below normal ground level of residences, commercial and industrial buildings for use in the collection and disposal of sewage produced in the buildings. The narrow accessway tank system can be installed with minimum cost and impact on the environment while maintaining proper operating conditions, good scouring of the collection tank bottom and facilitating below ground installation and subsequent maintenance and servicing of the sewage pump unit form the surface. The system comprises an enlarged sewage collection tank to be planted below level in the ground near a building and connected to suitable gravity drain conduits interconnected between the facility to be serviced and the collection tank for collecting raw sewage. The sewage pump unit comprises a sewage grinder pump physically supported within the enlarged collection tank for grinding and pumping the liquid sewage including any entrained solids out through a pressure sewage discharge outlet conduit to a suitable sewage disposal installation such as a drain field. A narrow-access passageway enclosure is physically supported on top of the collection tank and provides access to the sewage grinder pump unit within the interior of the tank. The narrow-access passageway is of sufficient cross-sectional dimension to allow free passage up and down for the sewage grinder pump unit, but is insufficient in cross section to accommodate passage of human beings or to accommodate a pipe guide system of conventional construction. A two-part, quick connect-disconnect slide coupling is provided for physically supporting the sewage grinder pump unit within the collection tank properly positioned relative to the bottom to assure proper scouring and prevent build-up of solids, but allows ready removal of the sewage grinder pump unit from the surface by a serviceman using a remotely operated tool to decouple the grinder pump unit via the quick connect-disconnect slide coupling and withdrawing it upwardly through the narrow-access passageway enclosure to the surface for service and maintenance or replacement.
