Will A Toilet's Waste Line Clog If?...

[donverse]

If a home use 1.28gpf toilet were to flush down solid waste every time it was used do you think would likely cause a blockage in the waste line for that toilet? I realize that there are of course some variables, such as how long the waste line is before connecting to the main line, but I just wanted to get some thoughts/experience on it. Since most of the time a toilet is used to urinate only I would think in many applications a urine only flush would assist in pushing a previous solid flush further down stream and as a result help to prevent blockages in the sewer line. Would love to hear some insight from anyone with some level of similar experience. Thanks!

At my house, I replaced all 3 toilets with ultra low flushers (.8 gal per flush) and everyone said I was asking for trouble, but 2 years later, I have yet to have a clog.

Gallon per flush has been researched very thoroughly and there continues to be ongoing study of drain line carry, further gpf goals and appropriateness of going much lower.
Code organizations monitor legislation along with mfrs.
MaP is another of those concerned orgs. Check out https://www.map-testing.com/assets/reports/1.06 gallon toilets...why not.pdf

The amount of paper you use, and the solidity, size, and makeup of your poop, both affect how well the waste moves along down the line.
