On their web site said:
It is recommended that the distance of the combined waste does not exceed 3 metres, however, experience has shown that longer runs using 40 or 50mm pipework has proved successful provided adequate fall can be obtained to ensure self-cleansing velocity is maintained.

The gradient of a branch pipe should be uniform and adequate to drain the pipe and appliance efficiently. A minimum gradient of 18mm/metre should be adopted for 32, 40 and 50mm nominal size pipes but larger diameter 82, 110 and 160mm branch runs may be laid flatter at 9mm/metre fall where the discharge flow rate exceeds 2.5litres/second.
