Does anybody
know what the required angle of elevation is for the waste pipe of a
flush toilet?


The above-ground branch needs to have a fall between 18mm and 90mm per
metre run. The below ground drain needs to be no shallower than 1:40.



Not so. Below ground its advised to be between 1:60 and 1:100 and IIRC
not STEEPER than 1:40
