It doesn't work like that. I goes by fixture units.
If you can tell me the fixtures that will be installed I can give you a count. What I can tell you that on a 4" sewer line with 1/4" slope to the foot you can install 216 fixture units. And that's a lot of fixtures.
How many and what kind? Cheers, Tom

Thanks Tom
I will have to take a look at the print. ( I'm just the office help LOL) I was asked to see if I could find an answer.. If I could have found my green book Iwould have been able to answer it without bothering you... but now that I think about it the last time I saw that book I was throwing it at the boss as he walked out the door..
Thanks for taking the time out to answer my question.. you are a sweetie.

No bother Peeksie,
That's why we're here. Get me a fixture type and count plus tell me what type of building it's going to and you can dazzle your boss with your plumbing knowledge.

Yeah! Yeah! I know!
Now all we got to do is convince all the other guys posting on The Plumbing Page.
Remember, count everything that discharges into the sewer, Including floor drains if any.
