On the 4" CI stack I'm installing, I've got a medium bend 90 (vertical to flat) that immediately transitions into a short 90, continuing its vertical plunge.
I'm supposing in that instance, there's no slope to concern myself with, as long as the two vertical sections are plumb.
Ok, so now reality: I've got a short 4" transition piece between these two 90s. I'm able to measure slope off of the outermost bands joining these three pieces together. The bands are 8" apart, so I should see 3/16" drop between them. Instead, they're dead level (measuring off of a laser line).
I'm trying to force the meager 3/16" slope, but am putting strain on the connections (which are snug but not fully torqued). I think it's because I've got good, square connections.
Should I loosen the bands and get my slope at the expense of a perfect connection, or should I run it flat for that short 4" knowing my two joints are seated perfectly?
