SLOPE OF ONE MAIN SEWER

[Chenxi LIU]

Hello:

I have a question, can you change the slope of one main sewer, for example, at the beginning of the sewer you have 1/8" slope, but then with more sanitary connected to the main, 1/8" is not enough any more can you change the slope to 1/4"?

Thank you
Chen

It would be an unusual installation, if you were allowed to install it at 1/8" per foot. That is usually reserved for 6" or greater or 4" in special cases. But, if 1/8" is adequate at the beginning, it will be adequate at the end also.

Got it, thank you
