Can a drain pipe rise up and then down for a small portion of the run if the slope of the overall run is quite steep?

You can do this with something like a storm water pipe. Storm water is basically clean and there is unlikely to be any problem with build up of sludge in the pipe. You should not do it with sewerage pipe as it will cause it to block up eventually

How can you tell if a frozen pipe bursts if you have well water?

When the pipe thaws, the pump will run almost constantly. Watch your pressure gauge on the tank and if it will not rise, or has problem building pressure above 30 psi, then yo almost certainly have a broken pipe.


What size water pipe should you have to keep the pressure and volume the same as the water mains' to run 300' with a 30' rise?

there is no size of pipe to keep the pressure the same if your rise is 30' and the volume or flow will drop with any size pipe too at 300' but if you want the least amount of pressure drop and flow for the smallest pipe to save costs then depending on demand I would run 3" or 4" solid core PVC or if you have pressure greater then 80 psi I would run 2" black poly if its for 2.5 bath or smaller home.


Another name for slope?

Joel is laying pipe for a sprinkler system in his lawn The lawn is a rectangle 15 feet long and 8 feet wide He needs a piece of pipe that will be run along the diagonal how long will the pipe be?

Using Pythagoras' theorem:x2 = 152 + 82x2 = 225 + 64x2 = 289x = sqrt(289)x = 17 feet long.


Slope is rise divided by run?

Yes, rise divided by run


What is the change in rise divided by the change in run?

Rise/run is the slope of a line.


Do you divide the rise over run or vice verse?

Rise over run
