Section A-A shows a 4-inch-diameter perforated pipe surrounded by gravel in a buried trench. Arrows indicate effluent dispersing outward and downward from the pipe into the gravel. The section specifies 2 inches of gravel above the pipe and 6 inches below it, with the trench bottom 24 to 36 inches below grade.
