Sloped piping is used in gravity-based piping to avoid accumulating substances in the pipeline. It is commonly used in various types of drainage systems or other piping runs that do not have a pumping system or pressurized components. The pipe is sloped downwards away from the source and toward the destination so that the substance flows from the high to the low point due to the force of gravity. In AutoCAD® Plant 3D, you can set the rise and run for the slope when routing pipe or modify the pipe slope in existing runs.

This webcast highlights the process for creating Sloped Piping within a Plant 3D project.
