: Don't know if you received my other message.... : Well I have just put in a sewer line into and existing tank, And we put a 1/2 inch pitch on the 3" PVC, I read that it should be 1/4 inch pitch.. Will 1/2 inch be ok?? And is it better for it to flow faster or slower into the tank...? : Thank you, : Rick the biggest problem you will have with too much fall is that the water could run off and leave the solids behind but 1/2" per foot should not be that bad on a 3" line as long as it's not real far.
