Three inch pipes are used to handle most residential toilets. 1.5 inch lines are used to handle waste from kitchen, bathroom and powder room sinks. 2 inch drain lines are common pipes for laundry drains. Clogs can develop easily on horizontal runs of pipe. Friction causes the water within the pipe to slow down. To achieve good water flow, try to install horizontal drain pipes so they have a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot slope. 3/8 of an inch per foot is actually better.
For instance, the minimum pipe diameter for a washing machine drain is pipe with a 1 1/2 inch diameter. When combined with a laundry tub, the drain pipe must be a minimum of 2 inches in diameter. And toilet requires a drain pipe of 3 inches in diameter, unless two toilets are on the same drain and then it must be a 4-inch plumbing waste pipe. Add the number of units together to get the total number of units for discharge into the DWV system compared with the minimum pipe diameter for specific fixtures.
