In our home we built, I separated the toilet blackwater line from all other greywater, which is allowed by our local codes. I've done humanure composting for years, and the goal is to build a
Flush Vermicomposting Toilet this coming Spring. Should I be concerned about a toilet-only pipe run in terms of whether the solids will make it that far?
I used 3in plumbing for the toilet (same size as the toilet outlet). The line goes about 8ft, then has one 45degree turn, then a 70ft run so far. I have yet to connect the rest. I'm hoping to keep the run <100ft with no more turns to avoid needing a cleanout as I hear they can hinder flow in blackwater lines. I opted for the smaller 3in line allowed by code (vs 4in) because it should keep the water around the solids better, leading to more pressure. We've purchased a low flow flush toilet, and there are 8-10 full time residents. The line is run maybe a little on the high side of a 1/4in drop per foot (quarter bubble).
