Hi group...

My Dad currently has an en-suite bathroom powered by a macerator.
However he wishes to convert this to a normal flush only, but is
concerned about the required fall for the waste pipe. Does anybody
know what the required angle of elevation is for the waste pipe of a
flush toilet?


1:100 minuimum 1:60 ideal from memory.

There's other issues as well- best consult an architect or decent
builder, or look up the building regs...you need biogger pipes than the
macerator as well, and where they join the downpipe is subject to issues
to avoid blowback into the bath etc :-)


thanks to anyone who takes the trouble to respond.

Standard fittings, (branches, bends etc) all have 92.5 or 87.5 degree angles
so I assume the fall should be 2.5 degrees.

which is 1:22

That is way more than is required.





Maybe this is too steep but how do you avoid using 2.5 degrees when the fitting
all come like this?

Maybe you know of a source of other fittings
