Can ceramic tile be installed over quarter-inch concrete backer board rather than half-inch if the underlayment is a three-quarter inch 7-layer flooring grade plywood?

You did not mention if the three-quarter inch stuff was T&G (tounge and grove), that might make a little difference. I am not an expert in this area but have some personal experiences to share. I was allways told from old school you should have two layers of half inch material one layer turned ninety degrees from the other to give a solid one inch floor. Then you could use the one quarter backerboard and end up with a good tile floor. Then the new school came along and told me i could use one quarter over the T&G three quarter. They said the three quarter T&G was equal to the old style one inch. I tried it with the three quarter and i have several grout cracks and two broken tiles. I was using one quarter quarry tiles six by six. Have now fixed yet but in another room i used three quarter T&G plus another one half inch plywood then one half inch backerboard and same tiles no cracks.


How do you you convert 16 of an inch from an architectural scale to an engineering scale?

1/16 convert to engineering scale, 1 divided by 16 = 0.0625" 0.0625" (architectural) divided by (12 in/feet) (to convert to engineering scale) = 0.0052" in engineering scale


What is minimum slope for sanitary sewer lines in commercial buildings?

For sanitary sewer lines in commercial buildings, the minimum slope depends on the pipe diameter, as set by plumbing codes like the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC): Pipes 2.5 inches (65 mm) or smaller: minimum slope is 1/4 inch per foot (≈ 2.08%). Pipes 3 inches (75 mm) to 6 inches (150 mm): minimum slope is 1/8 inch per foot (≈ 1.04%). Larger pipes (8 inches / 200 mm or more): slope can be 1/16 inch per foot (≈ 0.5%), if allowed by design and code. This slope ensures wastewater flows fast enough to prevent clogs but not too fast to leave solids behind.
