These outlets are pumped, so as long as the height difference is less
than (say) 24in you should be fine.
That's a good thought but my macine will be about 20 feet from the
nearest point I can connect to the sewer - doesn't this imply that I
will constantly have grey water lying in this pipe work ?
How should I protect against flowback into the outhouse?
3-4 feet, in 20 feet is more than you'd want the slope to be, to keep the water
flowing, I think it's 1:20 is the recommended slope.
