Pocster Posted May 28, 2020 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 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

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 .

Pocster Posted May 28, 2020 Author 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 Posted May 28, 2020 Can you drill the hole into the soil pipe then rotate it so its higher up? 1

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 .
Oz07 Posted May 28, 2020 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

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 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
Pocster Posted June 5, 2020 Author 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 Posted June 5, 2020 I would watch how much water you put in it, it will get very heavy. 1
joe90 Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) @pocster I have had to use a boss like you due to restricted space and it works fine. ? Edited June 5, 2020 by joe90 1

Pocster Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 Hmmmm I reckon maybe 60kg https://www.inchcalculator.com/pipe-volume-calculator/
Pocster Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 Actually perhaps I should fill the pipe with WINE! ?
Pocster Posted June 8, 2020 Author Posted June 8, 2020 Blocked drain . Just need foam to set then will half fill . Opted for water in the end not wine ?
