We have a situation where we sized piping at 8" round in order to take advantage of the smaller slope of 1/16" per foot required by code. We did this because the building is 1,000 ft long and that would make it so we don't have to dig so deep to meet 1/8" per foot slope. The building is a warehouse and no one knows yet what will be going on there in the future. It could be manufacturing or something else. If there ends up being just a couple of bathrooms and sinks, would the solids get stuck in the 8" pipe? There's nothing in the IPC that I could find on maximum pipe size. Can anyone point me to some equations or data regarding this? Any personal experience? Thanks!
