What is the maximum distance allowed between anchor blocks installed on an inclined drain?

The maximum distance allowed between anchor blocks installed on an inclined drain is indeed 3 meters. This standard is based on the need to provide adequate support for sloped drains, which helps prevent movement or displacement of the piping system due to shifting soil or water pressure.

Installing anchor blocks too far apart can lead to strain on the pipes, potentially causing leaks or breaks as the materials experience stress during use. By adhering to the 3-meter distance, you create a balanced support that maintains the integrity of the drainage system while also allowing for slight movement that might occur from thermal expansion or shifts in the ground. This practice is vital in ensuring that the drainage system operates effectively and has a prolonged lifespan.
