Pocster Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Before I commit ! ( glue and forget ) The white pipe is the ensuite sink waste . This arrangement ok ? . There is a fall on the pipe . Secondly . This is the bathroom sink waste . Due to ‘technical problems’ I.e f up ;am I ok to connect the bath waste straight into this ? . There will be no access to this once done .

Oz07 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Should be within the top third of the pipe but looks restricted so just roll with it If you can't change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 You might be able to twist that branch looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can move it further along the black pipe as it falls - more chance of the branch being higher but white pipe run gets longer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Can move this one along a bit to allow the boss strap to be fitted easier . This one only has a slight fall but boss strap higher up main pipe . This is the bathroom sink and bath waste ( join together under the floor above ) .

wozza Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Can you drill the hole into the soil pipe then rotate it so its higher up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soil pipe has been fixed and glued by God himself . Will not move ! Those boss straps not high enough ? Problem is also that the ceiling is quite busy and getting the white waste T higher becomes an issue . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I meant is there a loo further upstream of the connection we are talking about? If not I'd say your fine as the reason you put connection in top third is to stop stuff getting caught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I'd say your fine as the reason you put connection in top third is to stop stuff getting caught Ah ! In that case there is a loo right at the end of the black soil . It runs straight into the end though . I’ll get a photo tomorrow. So regarding the 2nd fixing further down - would it be wise for the main bathroom sink / bath to connect before the bathroom loo. ?

Oz07 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Ideally you'd want any connection downstream of a loo to be in top third of pipe. I'm sure it would be ok where it is but just use judgement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Ensuite sink and bathroom sink & bath wastes connected to main pipe . Black tiger seal on white pipe a bit messy ? Monday when this is all set will block the drain outside and fill up the entire pipe with water ; then leave overnight to test for leaks . Added a few more metal support straps also .

Russell griffiths Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I would watch how much water you put in it, it will get very heavy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have you had to foam that in? It should be a proper push fit into a sealed port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
