Whenever possible avoid 90° bends in the soil line I counted 4 90s a 37.5 and a 45 a total of 432.5° of bends plus the initial vertical to horizontal transition. The system could have been made using 45s where the 90s were by cutting just a little more concrete. Reducing the total degree if bend count by 180° Good plumbing practice whether drain and waste or potable water the fewer bends the better. I like to associate it with running electrical conduit. Which allows a maximum of 360°s worth of bends in any run of conduit.
Plumbers Code: **it flows down hill and payday is on Friday...
If it failed the test it would be a real pain to fix it.
I thought the plumber could time it, to calculate the mean degree of incline!
7 90 degrees you might as well plug it
1/4" per 10ft for the soil line any less and the solids will settle in the line much steeper and the water runs away from the solids
