Hi - I paid for a permit to do side sewer and I think I know how to do it except I'm not familiar with how the inspector will typically want to do a test. I believe I must install a "test Tee" as close as possible to the city
6" stub at prop. line. Then my neighbor said you put a balloon type thing in there to plug it and using a section of pipe of (____number of feet?)vertical into the cleanout closest to house foundation.
Then fill with water and see if it holds for (______amount of time?)
I plan to use 4" SDR35 gasket pipe until about 3' from the foundation and then join to 4" ABS that comes out of crawl space. Do I join those two different type of pipe with a "fernco" rubber fitting and stainless straps? Or is there another way thats better?

Thanks anyone.
