What is indicated in the specifications about the installation of perforated pipe?

To be installed at any angle
Must be covered with cement
Has to be oriented toward the bottom of the pipe
Should not exceed 2 feet in depth

The correct answer is: Has to be oriented toward the bottom of the pipe

The correct choice indicates that perforated pipe must be oriented toward the bottom of the pipe. This is important because perforated pipes are designed to allow water to enter or exit the pipe through its holes. When installed with the perforations facing up, water cannot effectively drain into the pipe, which defeats its purpose in a drainage system. Proper orientation ensures that the pipe effectively collects and manages water, preventing issues such as pooling and flooding. The goal of using perforated pipe is to facilitate efficient drainage, so ensuring that the holes face downward allows gravity to assist in the flow of water into the system, enhancing functionality and performance.
