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 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well ! F off @Big Jimbo before I answer . Solvent weld on all major pipework in my opinion . If you have a tricky fitting use black tiger ( thanks @joe90 or similar ) because it’s takes hours to set not seconds like the usual stuff . I didn’t want a push fit in a location I can never reach ….

@Thorfun if you haven’t already . Get proper pipe cutters 👍

My pennies worth ( because that’s all it’s worth ) 2. I’m certain some brands can vary in size . So be careful - I try to get the same brand of fitting and pipe to avoid issues . 3. 😁 I start at both ends . I like to get the basic soil pipe in place so I have some idea where everything will ultimately end up . 4. Things like this always cause me issues . If I measure and ‘allow’ a bit for pipe adjustments etc. I usually end up changing it anyway . So now I buy pan / frame / basin etc. all well in advance . Then I’ve got the real thing and tbh I can make my pipework etc. suit what I need . It’s an amateur way of doing it - but works for me .

I’ve seen a speedfit fitting leak a few times . You could say wasn’t installed properly. But under stress ( pipe perhaps a bit bent so pulling on the fitting ) I think they can leak . I got a ‘gift’ pack from wavin ( just a tee and 2 pipes ) . I tried my best to make it leak ; I couldn’t .

I’m fairly confident I asked all this at the start of my plumbing experience and was told to use 15mm for everything. I’ve not experienced any issues .

Do 15mm then no issues

For a self build and zero plumbing skill it is the only way to go . Obviously for purists and those with experience may prefer copper etc . Hep2o skill required is almost zero . Once you’ve done a run you’ll see how easy it is . Funnily enough I’m doing some today . Off my manifold of manifolds . Hot & cold to basin then run for toilet supply .

Hep2o is basically bomb proof . Any idiot can install it - I am proof

I use temperature in bathroom and humidity to determine things . I could also put some sensors on the various water feeds e.g toilet supply and bath . In reality what I really want to do ( but not allowed ) is install a camera in the bathroom . Then I can easily see if bath / shower / toilet is in use .

Red light ?

But not too (expletive deleted)ing long . Oh look ; my ufh has just turned on …

I believe at least roborock are working on some image recognition so it doesn’t do that .

Then a manifold of manifolds ! (expletive deleted)ing easy ( photo of big balls won’t upload )

It’s nice to be appreciated! oh look ….
