1" per 40 foot for mains. 1" per 20 foot for branch lines.
A 100' run of cross main would drop 2?". A 100' run of branch line would drop 5". Am I missing something here? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Lindner Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 10:41 AM To: sprinklerforum Subject: Sloping pipe in dry pipe systems I have searched but of course can not find anything that seems to answer my question.. In the real world, how much do you slope the pipe in a dry pipe system. Say you have a 100 foot run, what would you look to be the total drop over that run. 2", 3", use 1/16"/ft??? Looking for your experience when trying to layout out a dry pipe system.
