I have a simple arrangement in my bathroom - Lavatory drain feeds / vents directly into main stack on 1st (only) floor. Toilet and tub each feed into main 4" septic drain in crawlspace via 3" and 2" Y's (respectively) and share a 2" vent that ties into main stack in the attic space. Tub ties in downstream of the toilet. Using ABS for all drains.
I was looking at the run of pipe from crawlspace wall out to the tank (perfectly smooth and straight) - can't see any real issue with solids hanging up in there. But then wondering if the Y fittings I'm adding are going to have any real effect on the 'smoothness" of the run - if solids (from the toilet) will still be washing down cleanly over these joints.
In general is there a point where couplings / fittings are more likely to cause material to hang up / clog over time? Is there any kind of rule of thumb or best practice when tying this all together (e.g. does it make sense to connect toilet drain downstream of other fixture drains, so they all help wash down the solids)? Or does any of this even matter?
Appreciate your patience when answering these (possibly dumb) questions
thanks
