Pocster Posted February 21, 2020 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.
nod Posted February 21, 2020 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

Pocster Posted February 21, 2020 Author 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 ...
Onoff Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Is that block and beam? These? http://www.gordonproducts.co.uk/products/ceiling-clips-for-use-with-precast-beam-and-block-flooring-systems/

I can’t lift my blocks because they’re under ufh and screed over them - so I have to fix from underneath Edited February 21, 2020 by pocster
Oz07 Posted February 21, 2020 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
Big Jimbo Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 As above, or use unistrut. Dont forget you need a fall.

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

Pocster Posted February 21, 2020 Author 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 ?

Big Jimbo Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Put a nut on before you cut it, you tart. 2

I cut studding with a 4 1/2" slitting disc and take the burr off / polish the end with a flap disc. No nut used. Wot he said...TART! 1 2
Big Jimbo Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Or you could cut it with a junior hacksaw. ?
Russell griffiths Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Would you like me to come and cut it for you. Tart. 2
