45 degree slope of 3" waste pipe?

Dennis,
I knew I’d read it some where, in Howard Massey’s Plumbers Handbook on page 25: Verticle offset in Drainage Pipes,“You can consider as straight any verticle stack with an offset of 45 degrees or less. Size it as a straight vertical stack…”

Just make sure the fittlings don’t reduce the diameter of the pipe or have any ridges that may cause an obstruction.
