a 100mm dia pipe will do, just make sure the slope is maintained with in the range of 5% to 13% and fittings (45 & 90 deg) bends are installed in consistent with the plumbing code.

Above answer, is best preferable consult local building regulation.

It appears to me that this member is trying to size a discharge pipe for a facility having 4 toilets. Usually a 4 inch discharge line is used in houses with more than 3 toilets. The grade is 2 percent to the septic tank and the laterals are usually laid at 1% slope. The grade is kept so small to prevent the liquid from outrunning the solids..

Welcome, and thanks.

That part about discharging into the manhole bothered me. But then, I take everything literally.

Good answer except the questioner is running to a manhole which presumes a community sewer system. In which case the lateral is the line from the lot to the main and is usually kept at 2% also, Then the sewer mainlines will run at 1% due to their increased size and thus need to maintain flow depth for consolidation of fluids and solids. Just make sure it runs downhill and don't chew your fingernails.
