Okay, so I am laying a 4" pvc sewer pipe from the house to the septic tank. My question is when laying the pipe I have been keeping a 1/4" of fall per foot but am now running into a fall in grade and am wondering can I let the pipe fall at a steeper angle. I have heard that if the pipe falls to quickly the fluids will flow but the solids will hang up. I want to know if I can put a 22.5 degree coupler on to match grade or is it better to drop the pipe 90 degrees for 4' or so and then continue at the 1/4" per fooot fall untill I need to drop again to stay underground as needed for frost until I reach the tank. Hope this is clear. Trying to do myself and have a good idea what is needed but a few details like this I am vague on. Maybe need to call a plumber but I thought with all the guys on here setting grade and installing this on a daily basis maybe someone can help. Thanks
