Condesate soakaway pipe run

[Martyn2]

How can I get a reasonable gradient on my condensate drainage pipe, where it leaves the vertical, when plastic elbows only seem to come in 90 or 45 degree angles?

What angle are you trying to get? What is wrong with 90’s & 45’s?

 

[Martyn2]

Well for example, if I use a 45 deg elbow the end of the pipe will be 700mm below ground when it reaches the end of a 500mm run.
At the end of the run I want to terminate it into a McAlpine SOAK1GR.

depending on the run of pipe you should be able to use a 90 and then set the fall over the length of pipe but if its running externally it needs to be in 11/2" really

Well the recommend is 33mm (1 1/4) inches any bigger and a natural drop becomes even more difficult.

Everyone is quoting HHIC guidelines, but that doesn't answer the question.
