1/4" per ft. is the lowest allowed.
1. Allowed by whom? Not many regulatory authorities specify the minimum slope of a 6" sewer pipe.
2. Why state in inches, typically engineers use a 2.0% or 0.02 / 100' form for the answer.
3. Using Manning's of 0.013 (although most PVC could use a 0.009 or 0.011 n factor, you can achieve the 2 ft/sec typical requirement with a slope of 0.005 or 0.5%, although it was stated to me that 0.0067 or 0.67% is the correct minimun slope to use. I am just trying to find that source which is tough as most authorities do not specify the minimum slope of a 6" pipe.
It really depends on your local building code, but 2% should be the minimum so that your pipe will be self-cleaning.
1/16 PER IN PER FT. But the Fixture unit value decreases to only 1440 as opposed to 7300 at 1/2 Pitch.
1/8th per inch
A slope of 1/4" in 12' is 0.0017 - inadequate for cleansing; it should be at least 0.0084 to produce a reasonable flow velocity of 2 ft/sec. The metric slope I was informed is 18mm in 1000mm Most codes require a 1/4" slope for each 12" of run.
1/8" per foot.
One eighth inch drop per foot of run.
For a 200-foot sewer run, a common slope recommendation is 1% to 2% (or 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch per foot). This translates to a total drop of 2 to 4 inches over the entire length. The specific slope may vary based on local codes and the type of sewer system, so it's essential to consult local regulations for precise requirements.
The minimum slope required for roof drainage to ensure proper water flow is typically 1/4 inch per foot.
All drains slope 1/4 inch per foot, minimum. Too much slope,though, can mean pulling water out of the trap or goose neck on a toilet.
One-quarter inch per foot is both the standard practice all around the country and the minimum slope (or grade) allowed by most codes. If maintaining that much slope is a problem, an exception can be requested from the administrative authority.
.25 per inch per foot
A sewer "rod" is normally no larger then 3/8 of an inch diameter BUT a SEWER Cable can be as large as 11\4" even the small sewer rods can have large heads to maintain sewers as large as 36"
