Vijay Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Is it ok to connect a vertical soil pipe (through the floor) into a T connector on a drain pipe run or should I connect the vertical soil pipe into a rest bend, that then goes into a Y connector on the drain pipe run?

RichS Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'd certainly go tor the rest bend option. A vertical drop into a T will have far too much potential for blocking and I don't think meet regs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijay Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 I did think that, not enough sweep - but thought i'd ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Never into an equal tee. You need to turn to horizontal first ideally, or, at the very least, have a Y branch set so the branch is at 12 o'clock and then a 45o bend into that to rectify back to vertical. The vertical drop then into that 45. The rest bend is the best option without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vijay Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks guys Rest bend it is then, just mean I have to move the drainage run over but it's not been laid yet (even though the digging has been done ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Yes there is a special large radius rest bend that only seems to be used for the bottom of stacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rest bend. What's the difference between a rest bend and a settlement rest bend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 http://www.floplast.co.uk/uploads/downloads/110mm Pipe and Fittings.pdf The settlement bend seems to be for just that. A slip socket, telescopic bend that will move with ground heave. I just found this so we're both learning summat new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
