Spoke to a drainage supplier who reckons 300 MIC's will be fine as long you as say JSHarris, the inverts or not more than they are designed for. I'm going to have rod access at the other ends so hopefully have it convered

Thanks guys Rest bend it is then, just mean I have to move the drainage run over but it's not been laid yet (even though the digging has been done )

I did think that, not enough sweep - but thought i'd ask

Is it ok to connect a vertical soil pipe (through the floor) into a T connector on a drain pipe run or should I connect the vertical soil pipe into a rest bend, that then goes into a Y connector on the drain pipe run? Cheers Vijay

Anyone had problems rodding in a 300mm IC?

It will be one or the other, that was just for an old forum post and for building control to see if they had a preference

Just wondered what size you guys have used for access/inspection chambers. I will have 2 (yellow dots) that run into the 2 manifolds (red dots) and planned to use 300 or 320mm mini access ones. I went and looked at some today and I couldn't help thinking it would be pretty tight getting drain rods down them once the risers are on. Would I have any issues using mini access chambers? Cheers Vijay

Can't do that as the foundations are in and the pipes are to be ontop

No steels have been ordered yet, so it could be done offsite if it gets the go ahead

That's exactly what I was thinking I've already emailed my S.E to ask if there's any way

I know this is probably a very stupid question but I'd rather ask. Is there any way a drainage pipe could go through the vertical part of a steel? I have a 3m 203x133x30UB steel that's in the way of a pipe run idea, that would get rid of a pipe in the corner of the dining room and move it to inside the W.C. It's not the end of the world if there's no way but I wondered if the steel could be beefed up to do it? Vijay

Cheers Nick. How often should a pipe run be supported to stop sag?

I had a battle with TalkTalk for months over contracts as they just stuck to a rule that would want to make you hit yuor head against the no sense wall. I was told to email the CEO about how stupid their rule was and how they treated me who wanted to keep a contract with them. It got sorted within a few days.

How should any pipework running under the B&B floor (and on top of the cleared ground) be supported? Do I just use a concrete slab under the rest bends or do I bed any pipework and restbend in concrete?

Not if the foundations and manholes fitted by the developer are are already in place - I would need to drop the foundation or raise the manhole

I've just about got 1:40 (with a bit of work), so I'd really struggle to get 1:80 without core drilling a hole through foundations................

Thank you. Looks like 1:40 will be fine for 100mm pipe

I'm just digging for the drainage and I think I can just about get away with a 1:40 fall everywhere. While reading something about drainage, it says that any drainage that has W.C's attached should be a 1:80 fall. Is that strictly true? Cheers Vijay

Just to let you know that Openreach called me to confirm a few things and then sent me an email with the surveyors details. So the link they gave me does get the job done too

But surely with a gully you will then have a nice draught? I should have mentioned that I will be having two drainage pipes running up through the garage into the area above the garage anyway, one in each corner, so the middle drain could easily be linked into those I am having a sink in there

That's exactly why I thought of it, winter and car in the garage. A very expensive house my Mum work in had a central drain in the garage where they would just use a large squeegee to push the water into the drain - https://www.clickcleaning.co.uk/products/22inch-aluminium-floor-squeegee-2905?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=shoppingfeed&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8b_MBRDcARIsAKJE7llMQcyE_YEdP2UuzvUuyOr_6bp8ZlEUqH_2Wol9AtwIoJuRNb2tJxoaAvyHEALw_wcB

I've got a GSD and she's a fantastic guard dog - but useless as one if I'm walking her

Is it worth considering a drain point in a larger garage? Has anyone ever done this and thought is useful? I thought a P trap and probably a cap to stop things falling in Cheers Vijay

I guess that all depends on where you live and how concerned you are about your garage being broken into. If you have a nice car or tools in there, probably worth considering, if it's just storage then probably not.

Really glad you feel good, it was the right thing to do cos it wasn't fair on you or your family to have to deal with all this
