PVC Induction Heating Coil Design (early thoughts)

Hi Tom.G! : )
Yep! I know the system well!

The major difference here, ..... they have access at each end of the pipe!
Many options are then available with that kind of access. You could even slide in an entire preformed pipe liner like that ..... easy!

I don't : (

I had to design a system were the entire process could only be done from one end only (ie: typical residential sewer lateral)

@Tom.G
An interesting point:
Somewhere in the world (not sure) they do have what's called "the Berlin system" ..... residential sewer laterals. All the residential sewer laterals terminate to a shared manhole in the street! (maybe 5 homes into the one manhole).

The problem is, .... if my toilet backs up from a cracked lateral, typically, my lateral would run from my house, underneath your driveway, across your lawn and out to the common manhole. Can you imagine waking up to a backhoe digging up your front yard?

That's why we don't do that here in the states! : )
