WWilts Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Builder inclined to make do with 90-ish degree bend at bottom of soil stack from first floor WC/shower. Supported / encased in concrete (lean mix I think). Is a proper rest bend with foot absolutely necessary in this case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If properly supported and prevented from moving with concrete then no problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWilts Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Does the radius of the bend make a difference? Currently fairly short radius bend put in at what will be the bottom of a stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Small radius is ok, I wouldn’t use an elbow at the bottom of the stack to reduce hammer. As long as it’s a bend it will stay clear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
