Default Required drop for toilet outflow

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?

thanks to anyone who takes the trouble to respond.

regards


paul


A good rule of thumb Paul, is a 10 mm drop for every 1 mtr of pipe length.
Remember also that bends will have to follow this same requirement, so if
the bend popping through the wall is part of a 1 mtr measurement, then it
needs to follow the rule of 10 mm drop per 1 mtr of length.
