Soil fall angle
I will be moving various bits of soil piping around and have drawn a
blank on fall rates. From a look, old cast iron pipes look to have a generally steeper fall than modern (smooth) plastic piping [which makes sense]. Also, soil piping seems to come with either 2.5 degree or 22.5 degree branch adaptors. What are the regs / practice? Is it 2.5 degrees for plastic and 22.5 for iron? Thanks, Mark |

IIRC building regs say the fall should be between 18 and 90mm per meter. Have a look at approved document H: http://www.odpm.gov.uk/stellent/grou...eg_600283.hcsp -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I'd say that 1:60 lies within all our estimates,so should be adopted. LJ |
