Such a simple trick....how do we not all know this!

[wkevant]

Genius!! Simple and effective... Keep these nuggets coming guys.

Excellent tip James. You learn something new every day. I didn’t know about setting the fall too steeply would leave the solids in the pipe.

Why didn’t you do this video last month! When I needed it haha

Don't know about regulations in the UK, but when I learned this in the USA, the code was 1/4 inch per foot min, max 3 in per foot or vertical. So there actually is a bit of fudge room in the code.
Personally, the first bend in my index finger is about right for a 1 in 40 slope on a meter level, so I can just put my finger at the end of the level at that point to get slope on a pipe. Repeat measurements on down the pipe one meter at a time. No tape or blocks of wood needed. But that is just how I do it. And for me, the exact slope is not critical (as long as it is within code) but that there are no dips are valleys in the pipe along the path. But how doing that is another topic (there are also easy ways to get that, especially on longer pipe runs).

Good tip, guys.
Given that there are 39.37 inches to a metre, a quick ready reckoner for 1 in 40, if you pardon the mix of systems, is - 'an inch a metre' - which can be useful.

Brilliant tip. Been wondering how to do this for when I lay my new patio in the spring. 👍👌

level manufacturers could put another set of lines outside the ones for level that registered the pitch for the self clean

[Nbomber]

Done this for slabs before, neat trick.

[rodgerq]

I'll never use this but it's pretty ingenious. The simplest hacks are the best.
