What amount of reduction is permitted in a 3 inch cast iron drain pipe?

None

The size of the pipe cannot be reduced in the direction of drainage flow.

By 1 inch.
I’ve see it done at the shower only (not tub), washer standpipe and vent pipes…

6

The size of the drainage piping shall not be reduced in size in the direction of the flow. A 4-inch by 3-inch water closet connection is not considered a reduction in size.

Well done Sam, figured I’d try a trick question…

Thanks guys. The felt dolts mystery was solved by Fred, they are markers for termite “bait” stations, a green plastic container that has a piece of wood inside of it to ‘lure’ termites. Which seems like a bunch of BS to me, they put the dots on the wall so they can find them in the wood mulch they are buried in:roll:
