Pocster Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 What am I missing here !? Cut the end off the fitting ( that might be wrong ? ) . But there’s no way a 32mm pipe fits in there . Someone point out my dumbness please ( I’ll blame it on Monday ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Hmmm perhaps I’m not meant to cut it off ! Goes in the pipe like this ? ( but you cut it to fit ? ) Even if that’s correct it’s a crap fitting with just one clip on it ! . I don’t like this fitting . Something better I could use ?? ( notice swept floor !! ) Edited March 22, 2021 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 diagram shows the 32 fitting inside the bit that's got a jubilee clip on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Can I see a picture of the 32mm pipe trying to fit into what is left of the fitting after cutting the bit off? The bit that has been cut off would have been for a smaller pipe, which is why you cut it off if using 32mm, so of course the cut off bit won't fit onto a 32mm pipe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Managed to get a 32mm pipe in Still not happy though . Once that pumps it’s basically 1 jubilee clip holding it all in . My experience with jubilee clips is they can loosen over time especially in this situation with pump pressure . Is there nothing more robust I can use ??

Temp Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Could you replace the bend with solvent weld parts? eg just leaving one clip where it enters the unit? Edit: The rubber joints might be for noise reduction. Edited March 22, 2021 by Temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 In laws had one of these sh*t munchers (incorrectly) installed installed a few years ago. The plumbers ran the waste pipe up into the attic then along before dropping back down the other side of the house. The pipe came adrift halfway up, inside an internal wall. The mess was epic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Ok. As for the moment I'm just doing grey water I'll be ok. (in theory! ) BUT! SWMBO still wants a downstairs ( underground ) WC! So! What's the highest waste outlet I can have on the WC?. What's the lowest WC inlet on a macerator? I reckon with a bit of luck I might need to run just 3metres of poo pipe from WC to macerator . So assuming the 18mm drop per meter I "only" need 54mm difference from WC outlet to macerator inlet? This right or just wishful thinking??? Where's Uncle (expletive deleted)ing @Nickfromwales when you need him!

Pocster Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) SWMBO has offered a compromise ( at least that's the wording she used ) No one will poo in this toilet! Can you imagine that?. Big sign on the wall "Don't poo in this toilet". All the grand kids come over and deliberately shit in it. Then probably take my sign and flush that aswell. Sigh!. I am doomed. So 2 macerators in the finished kitchen. One for grey water and one solely for the WC with only wee in it ( yeah right! ).

And how will the macerator know (and therefore behave differently) if there were a 3M long soil pipe (laid to the correct fall) between the pan and the macerator?

Pocster Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Just spoke to Saniflo The sanicube 1 will do what I want!. Though it's around 800 quid and is half a metre square holding tank ?? I did ask if a macerator at the WC went into another macerator 3m away was a dumb idea. HE SAID NO!. It's doable. Though if macerator 2 fails ( not the WC one ) you will have a problem. Though you can get some alarm type system ( I'd integrate that into the HA and have all the speakers shout " (expletive deleted) ALERT, (expletive deleted) ALERT , POO EVERYWHERE " Edited March 22, 2021 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flow rate would be lower - these things trigger based on the amount in the tank. And the MIs are pretty clear ...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could fit a geberit wall mounted WC/Frame and adjust the feet so its a bit on the high side. The outlet pipe from those has a 90 degree bend which can be turned "horizontally". There is a table of outlet height vs seat height in some of the installation manuals (this one from the USA).. https://www.geberitnorthamerica.com/local-media/instructions/968-075-00-0-sigma2x4-install.pdf Edited March 22, 2021 by Temp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Don't get a macerator, get a small pump station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
