Moving a toilet requires creating a precise 2% slope on the waste drain pipe, but no standard coupling provides that slope, forcing manual height adjustment.
Standard couplings are straight and do not incorporate a slope, so achieving precise grade requires extra manual work like cutting and shimming.

Workarounds Described
- uses a straight coupling and manually creates slope by cutting and shimming the pipe
App Concept
GradeLock Coupling
A pre-sloped pipe coupling that automatically provides a 2% grade when connecting horizontal drain runs. Saves plumbers time and ensures code-compliant slope without manual calculation.
Key Features
- Pre-set 2% slope integrated into coupling
- Compatible with 3-inch and 4-inch DWV pipes
- Built-in level indicator for easy installation
- Fits standard hub and spigot connections
Target Users: Plumbers and pipe fitters in residential and commercial plumbing installations
