A sanitary line must fall at 1.2 percent over a 350 ft horizontal run. What invert drop should be shown between the two structures?

Correct Answer

A) 4.2 ft

1.2% = 0.012 foot of fall per horizontal foot. The invert drop is 350 × 0.012 = 4.2 feet. This uses the specified design slope; it does not establish the minimum allowed for every sanitary pipe size or jurisdiction.

Answer Options
A
4.2 ft
B
3.5 ft
C
3.8 ft
D
4.0 ft
