Whilst rummaging through my plumbing box ( not a euphemism ) I found 2 other poly pipe segments . No markings on them but a few mm difference on all of them .

No (expletive deleted)ing plumbers on this forum are there . I put the rubber fitting in boiling water . It’s the tightest rubber I’ve ever put on but does fit 😉

Funnily enough the saniflo guy checked exactly that . It just says 32mm so internal / external ? . its floplast so assume 36mm external - which is too large ..

Found this https://www.ondemandsupplies.co.uk/plumbing-blog-on-demand-supplies/why-does-waste-pipe-come-in-different-sizes-32mm-and-36mm-40mm-and-43mm/ So still must find presumably 32mm (external )push fit pipe

Yes

Grrr 😡 32mm pipework everywhere ( 36mm outer ) . Saniflo fitting ; pipe too large I.e needs to be 32mm internal . Saniflo phone call confirms this . So I need a very short length of 32mm external . Any brands where this is true ? - floplast it certainly isn’t . Or is this a push fit pipe v’s solvent weld size difference ??

150kg of 💩? You would hope ( expect ) you would notice slow flushing etc. well before then .

Yeah I can do that . It’s the ‘removal ‘ of the sanicompact when it fails that is the issue . I can fit it now easily and batten out the walls . But it will be impossible to remove without breaking the walls .

https://www.plumbworld.co.uk/documents/saniflo-golden-rules-for-macerator-installation-1001.pdf I wonder how critical 3 is ? I can do 1 wide curve but not the other ( just a swept T ) . Lift is only 1 metre . Does it matter ?? help me out @Nickfromwales 😁👍

I think I know what to do ! No 100% pipes hidden , but pretty good and allows the unit to be removed when it fails I.e when wet wipe or more likely Lego gets chucked down it .

It’s been available in the U.K. for a few good years ….

Possibly . Unfortunately waste goes to the left and basin in goes to the right . So you would need an enclosure on both sides

Magic I think https://www.saniflo.co.uk/installing-a-toilet/74-sanicompact.html

Only sensible way I can see of doing this. Red pipe is discharge pipe and is surface mounted! ( Grrrrrrr ). So vertical down in corner then right with a fleicone ( or similar ) to make remove etc. easier. Green pipe is sink outlet in the stud work and pops out to the right of the pan. Easier to access there with jubilee clips Water inlet just gets 'pushed' up inside the wall ; plenty of length on it if pan needs to be pulled forward. EDIT: though I could box in the red discharge pipe at least until the bottom I suppose.....

What about this for the waste discharge? https://unifloproducts.co.uk/product/flexible-extendable-40-32mm-waste-inlet-tube/ It looks like jubilee clip each end ( I assume not solvent weld ) - so that does mean when it connects to the 'proper' discharge pipe embedded in the wall it would be jubilee clip - which means it will not be accessible ( which I don't like )

Yeah I know. I can build the stud wall around it - but then when it fails I'm stuffed. This compact unit doesn't have a cistern.... Ideally ( when it fails ); remove the screws that clamp unit to the floor then slide it forward so all pipework is accessible - just can't see how to achieve that ; flexible macerator output pipe?????

I just can't see how to do any of it and have pipe/taps concealed. There's no way I can get my hand down either side to loosen/tighten a jubilee clip. Too make matters worse the inlet for a sink is on the right; whilst my sink is on the left meaning discharge outlet and sink inlet must cross each other 😠

Actually all the fittings are a dog as jubilee clip . Can’t see how to fix it all water tight and have access to remove it if an issue ; yet tight to the wall . Tempted to make the whole lower section of that wall a removable panel . This wc will be tiled . Best solution ??

Macerator water feed is a pain . Ideally I want it ‘hidden ‘ - but may need access if unit needs removing . Even if I surface mount this appliance tap I’ll still have to have some tee to get it into the wall . Will look pants ! That hose is nice and non flexible- I’m reluctant to shorten it as it’s the supplied pre installed pipe .

@Nickfromwales Will be angry with you

I know . He probably did a fitting as it was easier . Tbh he’s done thousand of soldered joints - never seen one leak until then ; Sod’s law .

Incredible as it will sound my late father was a plumber ( yes I learned zero from him ) . Old skool ; so copper everywhere and perfectly neat . One day he put a copper tee in a corner to go under a kitchen worktop . I saw this and said Hep2o would bend round that corner no fitting needed . He hated push fit . 6 months later his soldered joint leaked . Had to remove granite worktop and units to get to it . You can imagine what I said 😂

Yes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
