Going to the store is much simpler for you than me, 20 miles round trip and they only have the rubber bung and can’t get the SP22 any more. I have sourced some white SP22, colour doesn’t matter once in ground who knows but obviously most people prefer black hence why only white is available.

Hi I’m back on this again and have a question about the boss adapters to use in the 3 way soil. There seems to be an image mismatch on the SF website I think floplast sp22 solvent weld is unavailable now and the alternative is a rubber bung but SF website and many others are showing both images incorrectly ie ABS version and rubber. is the rubber bung ok or would it be better to use a coupler instead and solvent weld. Still ok for me to play with the entry to 3 way soil not drilled out the blanks yet.

You are doing great. 🙂 You are much more hands on self build than me. I basically started once the walls and roof were up. I wouldn’t be out of the ground if I had done the groundworks.

@Nickfromwales is that boss going at existing pipe? Perhaps should have said pipe is female coming out of slab with male just resting there for now. in which case is this what I get. I have the Impey linear 4 just arrived today and toilet and sink arriving Monday. Just so I can play around to get things dry fit, probably take me a month just to do the insulation in all rooms so plenty of time. Then box out all areas pipe will be and fit after the screed. thanks just noticed the <1300mm comment the shower waste to existing pipe is more like 2000mm.

@BotusBuild so just checking I understand a swept T at existing then 110mm across to basin area then the shower, basin and plant room in 50mm to the 110mm But not the other way around all in 50mm coming together at the existing 110mm can you explain why? Thanks

I have 180mm insulation to go down and 55mm of screed minimum so I have worked out the 1:40 slope will get to the drain in the insulation layer but not sure about the coupler that I need.

The waste pipe is where the toilet will be. I was going to use 50mm pipe for the connections.

I’m planning in advance of the floor insulation and screed how I’m going to connect my shower waste and sink waste into the soil pipe. The shower is marked out bottom right of image and will connect diagonally across room to the soil waste pipe. The wall hung basin marked out with its waste either going across room also or through stud wall into the plant room where a washing machine will be and it can join the waste from the washing machine following perimeter of walls back into bathroom and to soil waste pipe. My options are then 2 or 3 connections into the waste pipe. I found this whilst searching for waste couplers anybody any thoughts on this or alternatives.

I’m in the same position I have a Macbook 2011 version with a partition running Window 7 and luckily loop cad has installed ok despite the age of everything. it does seem that loop cad is the most used software for UFH. The tutorials are good as well.

Just trying to clarify. The neighbouring property that joins at your chamber they didn’t have a connection to the sewer previously so it’s all the pipe run from your neighbour to chamber and through the car park is all new. sounds like an easement was required but as the neighbouring property also joined the sewer at the same time maybe they have the details as they needed an easement over your land as well as the pub land. when you applied for the connection you probably sent a lot of emails and was given a reference for the water board they will be able to find the details you submitted try giving them a ring. My water board tracked my initial contact by the reference even though 2 years later were still not connected. When you connected it automatically became a private sewer initially but you can pay for the water board to take over ownership that could be worth looking into they will probably check for easements. Did the water board visit to check the connection to the sewer or was it all done by photos, don’t know if it will make a difference but the photos might date the connection and help with paperwork trails.

Your welcome another time, DM me when you’re free.
