Ok Mark, I guess my point is that the above-ground pipe can trap condensate water even when installed to the minimum slope. I would agree the condition is much better with ample slope and careful attention to detail. Specify the ten marble test where ten marbles in one end exit the other end.

Alan:  Just to be clear - this pipe is now being located such that it
drains to a conditioned space below grade (the sprinkler controls room)

above-ground pipe as far as the amount of moisture it will see.
