Terracotta fittings internally, boxed in

[Super_Paulie]

Will the building inspector get upset if I use terracotta branches in my internal soil stack? It'll be boxed in obviously.

Only if they spot them

My understanding is that they are fine so long as not exposed to daylight and UV, hence the boxing as you imply.

Not at all, if they are enclosed. You'll find in some cases unavoidable, e.g. you can't seem to get long radius rest bends in black (locally for me, anyway). There's generally a better selection of fittings in the underground range, e.g. 11.25 bends and Y junctions.

Cheers gents. I've done the job with a terracotta tee. For some reason I couldn't get that in black unless I ordered from the inter'web which was unusual and double the cost+postage. A branch with purely 110mm and not with the 40mm side branches seems to be difficult to get from the sheds.

 

Anyways it's done with the terracotta, thanks for your input gentlemen.
