I have waste lines at work that are 1/8" per foot. But that was for industrial DI water treatment.

Anyone else?

1/4" per foot. I just did a job in my basement. You can check on line for plumbing codes.

Only thing I know about sewers is that water runs down hill and when you work on sewer lines - DO NOT CHEW YOUR FINGER NAILS!
