Why are bolt holes for a flange never placed on the vertical?

I would say because there has to be a standard method of installing flanges that everyone needs to follow. For the simple reason when installing or replacing items such as valves with welded or otherwise fixed flanges, if there was no standard the replacement valve would be 1/8 of a turn or 45 degrees off center if the piping flange bolt holes were on the verticle and the valve flange bolt holes were not. This would be in the case of 4 or 8 bolt flanges.Also in the case of non flanged valves where long bolts pass thru both flanges and squeeze the valve to make the seal a vertically placed bolt hole would interfere with the valve operator or handle preventing the valve from being mounted straight up, down or horizontally.

What is the difference between 6A-6B and 6A-6BX flanges?

6A-6B flanges are ring type joint which is not developed for face to face make up, where the bolting forces act on gasket. 6A-6BX flanges are also ring type joint but it is developed with raised face hence the bolting forces act on this raised face and not on the gasket if it is properly placed. And also the raised prevent the flange damage from excessive bolting torque.


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


Does stepping down the size of pipe on irrigation bring up the pressure?

Stepping down the size of a pipe on irrigation can certainly bring up the pressure. Generally, the larger the pipe, the lower the pressure. It is best to use at least a 3/4" pipe in size in terms of irrigation.
