Ideal slope! At ~2% slope (1/4" per foot), both liquid and solid wastewater travel at the same velocity, ensuring automatic scouring.

General Plumbing & Pipework Reference Guidelines

Ensure calculations correspond to relevant ASTM, ISO, or ASHRAE standards. Always cross-verify fluid speed ratings, pipe threads, and drain grade requirements with local municipal building and plumbing codes before active installation.
