RE: Question about pitch of underground drainage pipe. The big 120 ft drain with 3 gutter spouts in it remains almost flat (maybe 4-6 inches of downward pitch - tops) for the first 85 ft or so. The last section is where it starts to pitch downward (another foot or so).
A level gutter can hold a lot of run-off water, which means the guttering will need additional anchors to support the weight. A typical 1-foot section of 5-inch-wide gutter can hold 1.2 gallons of water, and a 1-foot-by-6-inch gutter can hold 2 gallons of water. Water weighs in at 8.3 pounds per gallon, so a 10-foot section of flooded gutter must support anywhere from 100 to 166 pounds. A level gutter also collects debris that may not be washed away by a steady flow of water.
