2% (1/4" per foot) unless first approved by your Plumbing inspector. If there is a lack of grade to allow for the fall you may be allowed to upsize the drain to 6" and run it at 1% (1/8" per foot)

How much fall in a toilet drain pipe?

From various sources I gathered that the minimum fall (slope) is 1cm fall over 1m distance. Converted that is 0.125 (1 eighth) inch fall over 1 foot distance.The maximum that should not be exceeded is 1cm fall over 20cm distance. Converted that is 0.25 (1 quarter) inch fall over 4 foot distance.

How much slope do you need for a drain pipe from a new bathroom and what do you do if there isn't enough slope?

One quarter inch per foot is standard "slope". This equates to a quarter bubble on a level. If you don't have at least one eighth of an inch "slope", your drain will not work properly and will clog constantly.

How do you change oil cooler lines on a 1994 Chevy Suburban?

Things You'll Need Jack Jack stands Drain pan 3/8-inch ratchet and socket set Line wrench set Teflon tape Replacement oil cooler line fittings Replacement oil cooler lines Replacement oil cooler line plastic inserts Oil Lift up the vehicle using the jack and place it on jack stands. Make sure the vehicle is secure before you crawl underneath it. Drain the oil from the oil pan into the drain pan by unbolting the drain pan bolt using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Once the oil has drained out, reinstall the plug. Unscrew an oil cooler line from the radiator using the line wrench. This will spill out some oil, so you may want to keep the drain pan handy. Follow the oil line to the oil filter, and unbolt the bracket that holds the oil lines to the engine using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Then push in the plastic clip on the oil filter assembly to release the line. Unscrew the fitting from the oil cooler housing using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Then wrap Teflon tape around the end of the replacement fitting and install it in the oil filter housing using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Don't tighten it too much, otherwise you risk cracking the housing. Insert the replacement plastic fitting into the fitting manually. Run the replacement oil cooler line from the radiator to the oil filter housing and push it into the plastic clip on one end, and tighten it down using the line wrench on the other. Repeat Steps 3-5 for the other oil cooler line. Once it's replaced, tighten down the bracket that secures both lines to the engine using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Fill the engine with the amount of oil the manufacturer recommends.
