April 23, 20233 yr So ! Before I (expletive deleted) it up ! @Nickfromwales ….. Kitchen sink/washer/dishwater etc. are going "somewhere" along that window. In the wall is a 32mm pipe running from a macerator ( out of view to the left ) 14m long to outside pumping station. Just in view is a 32mm pipe in ceiling which runs to the internal 110mm SO! Do I.... a) Do some connection off the 32mm pipe in wall and feed sink etc. into that - all will run to outside and pumping station b) I have a temporary pump in my current kitchen setup that would make a) easier i.e. they all go into that box - giving just 1 connection into the walled 32mm pipe c) Use said pump box to take sink waste high and into ceiling 32mm pipe thereby not touching macerator in wall pipework My original plan was a) - but I'm sure that's wrong! Edited April 23, 20233 yr by pocster otherwise it's all going to be wrong for sure.

April 23, 20233 yr OK. So you should have a dedicated discharge from each pump to a FW stack, and you shouldn't pump into an existing pipe ( T'd in ). Was that what you were saying in "a"? This will all be grey water and not black ( foul ) water, yes?

This arrangement I.e washer / sink etc into pump ( pump has holding bay ) then up and out into 110 mm is what I currently have . Keep separate from macerator pipe yes ?

Red possible route for combined ‘gray ‘ water Edited April 23, 20233 yr by pocster
April 24, 20233 yr Author SWMBO changed this because we were not originally having a underground WC. So because of her had to double stud the entire wall just to get the macerator pipe out. Now in hindsight I could of put 2 pipes in the wall ; 1 for macerator other for grey water output ( probably wouldn't of needed the extra pump then! ). AH WELL!
April 24, 20233 yr Author Managed to squeeze a pipe in there ready for pump i.e. the setup I have already. Macerator output pipe remains untouched
