We want 0.25 inch (1/4 inch or 2%) per foot inside a building but once we get out to the main sewer we want 0.125 inch (1/8 inch or 1 %) of slope in our drain lines where I live. If a level doesn't have the extra lines, you can also estimate by using 1/4-1/4 of the bubble length as your guide. So when you have 1/4 of the bubble over the line you are in the right range.

What is the required pitch for the stretch of pipe between the point where it exits building and where it meets up with main sewer? still 1/4" per foot?

"Different level man" 😂😂 Thanks for video. Very informative.

@tomseely1429 2 года назад

I think any level can do this. I heard the term "half bubble", referring to the bubble being evenly split on the line, represents a 1/4" slope. I found this video while checking to see if that's accurate. Empirically that matches your demonstration. Thanks for the tip.

Interesting! Thank you, Sir!

Yes and no. Some levels have a tapered vial. To hyper exaggerate an out of level state. They usually claim to be "more accurate". I have the same 12" empire level he has around here somewhere. I'd be guessing that the slope vial Atleast, has a consistent diameter. The kapro one I have in my hand right now, has a very pronounced taper on the vials. I still don't trust this one for pipe slope

Thanks, exactly the info I wanted to know. Did a test on my level. Have to estimate to get 1/2” unfortunately. No line. I’m just doing a down spout with PVC under the ground. So, estimating will do for this job.

Going along this topic, I could go on for 30 minutes about how to use a speed square, and some of the old timers I used to work with could go for hours.

Pretty sure my 4 foot Stanley level I bought eons ago has the dual lines. Very handy if you need to slope something.

my irwin 6ft level does not have the outer lines. also my random china torpedo level does not have. maybe specific to empire? I'm curious if it's patented by them...
