I made a typo... I meant 1 1/2 not 1/4! Sorry about that!
FU? No worries I know it's not the other FU! but what does 1140 FU stands for?
I've been giving this more thoughts...
At the exit of the bathtub even if I put a pipe at 0 degree the bathtub will still empties itself because the pipe is lower the drain and gravity will do its work... no matter the size of the pipe used.
Now say I put a 1 1/2 drain pipe and give it 45 degrees slope... what will be the consequence on the p-traps attached to that same waste line? I can picture the pipe filling and trying to breath but no major bad things happening... same if the pitch were 1/8 per ft. The pipe will fill itself with water, air will be pushed out and the vent will give it some more... but to a point where the volume inside the vent pipe will reach its max point and not be able to supply more air... then like a bottle you are trying to empty will caugh... am i right in this assumption?
Many thanks for your patience! |
