The grey area is the depth and integrity of the ducting. Any GSR'd fitter who values his freedom will refuse to connect to a pipe he / she hasn't seen being laid. If they we're happy, id not want them within a mile of the job.

How far from the edge of the doorway between the DR and the LR will the padstone be? BCO may ask for a pillar there. Looking a bit tight to have the doorway lintel and the new pad so close on a single skin. Any chance of a pic looking from the DR into the LR with dimensions ? You'll need to expose the existing lintel to be 100%.

I said WAS Then it grew arms and legs and became too scary to tame. All jokes aside, if someone with zero knowledge of squat wants to do a bathroom from scratch, @Onoff's thread is a step by step guide to do it right.

+1, I should have said I always go for 150mm as 100mm just looks inadequate to me. And steel is pennies.

Deffo. SE will specify with the steel drawing. Full detail will be required, buy your only looking at a pre-stressed concrete lintel, 6"x4" around 300-400mm long and the steel needs to be a min of 100mm bearing on the pad.

In for a penny........??

I was going to rename it the bog mini-blog TBH.

It looks ( end section ) identical to what I routinely use. Its cheap enough to make me look closely at it that's for sure. It'll only ever see <2.0bar in normal service so how bad can it actually be ?

It won't pay for a telly in the bathroom if it's been spent on EWI. . Life first, insulation second.

@JSHarris I assume the pipe insulation that is used to retain heat also doubles up to reduce any condensation on the pipework carrying 12oC water ? Is that an issue? My knee jerk would be to insulate everything even if just precautionary.

Freesat and a military dish it is then

An awesome thread you beautiful man Damn you and your free tool collection, the stuff of wet dreams. Please add as much detail as time allows as this will be of utmost value! I used Kwikstep for the boys room, a total cop-out, but even that required a new brain and a second opinion Buildhub gold in the making, thanks for this.

This kind of thing is available link but uni-strut and a couple of cheaper compressor feet should suffice / exceed the required isolation by a good bit. Or these onto uni-strut would be my method.

Deffo.

If you can reverse cowgirl a 110mm pipe with that kind of accuracy you should be in a different job

If no 'kit' ordered, just uni-strut and 4 anti-vibration mounts ( like for a compressor ) ?

On some seemingly 'flat' runs the worst I've ever had was simply to 'demo-flush' the run with some loo roll and demonstrate it working.

Summat like this. Just for additional stability. Either back to the OEM bracket or even back to the building structure. No wind would shift it if I fitted it .

Would have to be a dowel wouldn't it. Compression not tension. ?

Let's draw a line under this . Its a rental. £300 every 3-5 years upgrading a tv is deductible under depreciation. Just buy a half decent smart with USB, wifi, hard wire it to the BB router, have freesat, mount a dish ( try doing that with bigger bolts ) and move on. Netflix and Digital radio and freesat = problem solved. Put the TV you have in for the immediate and get some revenue if that's the issue, but the suns about to shine so........... Get it rented out ! Chop chop. @Onoff any reason that threaded bar can't be used to stabilise the dish if it's that battered by wind ?

@PeterW Itll be running mono-temp, eg never doing hot water. Can it simply be told to fire up at a set temp ?

No one said it was going to be easy . Nurture damnit! Nurture !

What's the invert from the affected WCs to the next horizontal run in the downstream soil pipe? Eg how far before the plop must drop, and how far does it drop? 1200mm or less invert and you shouldn't even need an AAV. If you have a horizontal run before dropping a full floor height then that will create a sufficient air break to ensure the flush is unaffected. Water not going down quickly sounds more to do with the local connection eg pan connector and the immediate pipework thatvit discharges into rather than air admittance. Air admittance or lack of is usually spotted by the water being almost completely sucked out of the throat of the pan after flushing, even to the point it gurgles to get the air break from the pan.

Why?

It sounds equally as funny in print. PMSL.
