From Ceiling to Core Hole: The Plumbing Slope Secret Revealed!

Using the Total Fall Drainage Formula on suspended drainage pipe to locate a core hole in a wall! In this in-depth plumbing tutorial, we tackle a common yet challenging question for apprentices preparing for the Red Seal plumbing certification exam (C of Q): calculating the location of a core hole for a sloped drainage pipe. Using the Total Fall Formula, we walk you through how to solve for the elevation difference caused by slope and translate that into practical measurements. Perfect for plumbing students, apprentices, and professionals, this video breaks down key concepts like grade, length, and total fall with clear visuals and real-world examples. Don't miss the step-by-step guide to mastering this vital skill! --------------------- CORRECTION NOTICE (20:00): I made a clerical error when carrying over a value of "0.0625" inches as "0.625" inches, which resulted in an incorrect final measurement. The CORRECT FINAL MEASUREMENT from the ceiling to the bottom of the core hole is 36-15/16 inches. The method shown remains accurate and unaffected by this error. I apologize for any confusion and appreciate your understanding! --------------------- #PlumbingTips #RedSealPrep #PlumbingExam #DrainageCalculation #PlumbingEducation
