WWilts Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Nobody likes blockages or inaccessible waste pipes. Kitchen waste running behind units. Is that a bad idea? Given the situation, how to mitigate? Units not installed yet. Waste pipe hole through wall drilled. Can be redrilled if needed. From wall end at right, no units for 300mm along wall Then 500mm drawer unit Then 1000mm corner carousel unit Waste pipe hole 1000mm from wall end at right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Why haven’t you just drilled straight out and lost an unnecessary additional bend? Then you make the external bend a T with a cleaning ( rodding ) eye on the end for self maintenance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoiding external pipes. Is it possible to put a T on the internal bend(s)? Should the waste exit through wall be moved to between units? 2 dishwashers also en route to waste exit (pic) Edited July 4, 2022 by WWilts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 We have 110mm pipe coming up through the floor under the sink. Think a rubber adaptor seals the 40mm sink and dishwasher waste pipe to the 110mm. Never had a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Won’t the bifolds catch on the waste pipe ..?? Poor design IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of brackets, then you have a solid, larger bore pipe which will handle most waste and if needs rodded its bigger and a solid install. I have a fair bit of inaccessible 50mm waste but access points and a solid install mean I can get in and snake it easily enough. Under my sink I have a 50mm tee, into that tee I reduce to 40 and catch both wastes separately (this gives overflow protection if one U bend blocks and lets you get the job done before you get round to unblocking it). I also use Tee's here and there with a 50mm screw on access point so I can get in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I do with every slab penetrations design, as it's just sooo much easier to not have smaller bore waste pipes traversing the walls / cutting units etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
