I assume you have a 4" main. Your pipe should not exceed 1/4 per
foot, especially if you have low flush toilets. That amounts to
5" per 20' joint. The low flush toilets make 1/8 per foot
actually a better choice which would be 2 1/2" per joint. Your 4"
will be right on target.
The 135 feet of run should have between 17 and 34".
