Plumbing – Sloping sewer pipe
1. What method have you found best for working with sloped pipe? Route it sloped as your working or lay it all out flat [0”/12” invert] then come back and slope once your done?
2. Has anyone found a “work-around” for where two sloped pipe coming from opposite directions meet in a horizontal sanitary cross? I find that if the cross is vertical, like a bank of lavatories, the two sloped pipe meet at the fitting as it should. But if the cross is flat [or sloped], where two opposing floor fixtures meet, the cross will rotate for one leg but not allow the second leg to connect. Sometimes I can get the pipe to meet without “auto-route” preventing me but most times not.
Thank you,
