Hi, Fellow Members,

 

Advice please.

 

I have a rodding point in my patio, which is about to be relaid - see attached.

 

I want to run my washing machine and basin waste from the utility, no toilet waste, into a new outside waste gulley and connect to the rodding point by using a 45 (y piece) degree connector, keeping the rodding point accessible within the new patio.

 

Would this be a permitted practise?

 

Thanks in advance

Is it definitely a foul sewer rodding eye?

 

If it is, then that is fine. 

 

If it's a surface water sewer then no, not allowed. 

George, thanks.

 

Am still trying to work that one out!

 

There is a foul sewer manhole several meters away, which receives our foul waste.

 

Have tried a hose down the rodding point, but water does not flow into the manhole chamber.

 

Am trusting the council or a drainage specialist would be able to advise?

 

i reckon that is a surface water rodding point, still seems an odd location tho
