Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Drainage Slope Calculator, formulas, and expected usage.

How is drainage drop calculated?

Drop equals horizontal run multiplied by slope in inches per foot.

What does a slope of 1/4 in per foot mean?

It means the pipe drops 0.25 inches vertically for every 12 inches of horizontal run.

Why convert slope to percent grade?

Percent grade is commonly used for site and civil coordination, while in/ft is common in plumbing layout.

Is steeper slope always better?

Not always. Excessive slope can separate liquids and solids in gravity drainage systems, so follow code and design guidance.
