How much pitch on a sewer drain?
The pitch on a sewer drain, typically referred to as the drain slope, should generally be between 1% to 2% (or 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot) to ensure proper flow and prevent clogs. This slope allows for efficient drainage by utilizing gravity to move wastewater through the pipes. Local building codes may specify exact requirements, so it's important to check those as well. Proper installation is crucial for maintaining the functionality and longevity of the drainage system.

How do you install an indirect drain to the main system to prevent possible sewage back-up into a 3 compartment sink?
You must maintain a 2" air gap from indirect waste to sewer waste. If sewage back up was the issue, I would recomend "directly" piping the 2 inch drain to the main sewage with a 2 inch normally closed backwater valve. If you piped an indirect drain you would not be protected from sewer back up. I assume this is for a sink perhaps in a basement?
