Hi Guys

I’ve a few questions and hope someone out there can help, all are for a domestic system not commercial.


What is the minimum and what is the preferred fall ratio for a toilet waste 110mm pipe?

I understand if its too steep solids can be left behind in the pipe, likewise if its too slight a fall.


What is the minimum and what is the preferred fall ratio for each of the following:

Basin waste 1¼" / 32mm pipe

Bath waste 1½" / 40mm pipe

Shower waste 1½" / 40mm pipe

My thanks to anyone who can help

By the book its Basin 32 = 22mm /m (max1.7m run to stack)
Bath or shower 40 = 18 -90 mm/m max 3m to stack
It's the longer 110mm runs that fall is critical.
Deburring and smooth transition also important as fall imo
 
11/4-2” 15mm a m

4” 15mm- 25mm a m depending on if your fixed by anything
