The 1.414 rule is a mathematical formula used to calculate the exact length of a diagonal pipe piece needed for a 45-degree offset. Plumbers multiply the center-to-center offset distance between two parallel pipes by 1.414 (derived from trigonometry) to get the exact travel length before subtracting the fitting allowances.
