Pocster Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Although part of my "bathroom starts" thread - I think I needed to post this separately . So!. My 'internal drain' runs the width of the build below my beam and block. I intend to drop pipe work down from above then into the drain ( green shows proposed drain, purple connections from WC, sink, shower etc. etc). Is it as simple as this?. Just make sure they are connected as high as possible into the drainage pipework? - is that it?? Intended to glue everything and use only solid pipe. Will have to somehow have that long internal drain pipe supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I did exactly that I totally missed putting a grain for the down stars loo Quick fix lift a 3 mtr line of blocks and pick up the manhole outside the back door NO CHNCE To high had to run the full length of the house Glued everything made sure the pipe was well supported and adde a chamber just outside the house Works a treat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Not sure how to support it though . Metal straps screwed to the beams ? Prefer something more solid so the pipe can’t move ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oz07 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 @nod didn't have a basement like you. Just screw up into the blocks if you can't use any proprietary fixing strap/band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jimbo Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 As above, or use unistrut. Dont forget you need a fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, once you are under the floor, and, or, above the ceiling, i would go from 40mm to 50mm then into the 110mm. You will prob be ok with short runs, but i would still go to 50mm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Can’t seem to find what I think I need . Ok you’ve got a channel that you can bolt too - but I don’t see adjustable length threads with 110mm pipe clamps . I’m probably not looking at the right thing ?
