Rodding access?

[Super_Paulie]

Hi guys. Planning my kitchen waste with various bits I have hanging around. Is this my best option for a rodding access? That run along the side of the extension is 2m which is supported, but I'm thinking this rodding access will just collect kitchen waste and do the exact opposite of what I want, but I can't think of another way to do it? Obviously I'll get new fittings all the same colour.

The thought has just dawned on me that I could just use a swept bend and just not weld it on one end, thus making it removable. Or is this frowned upon by the majority?

That should work. If the end gets mucky inside, does it matter?

i guess it wouldnt in the scheme of things, i guess it could collect so much crap that in time it blocks. Dunno, probably over thinking it.

I think you are better rodding in the direction of flow.  If the pipe gets blocked, where will the rods push the blockage?  Can you get an access where it exits the wall?

i have access but im not sure how to make an access point at it and not look a mess.

No, you can rod downstream aswell with a pulling action with one of the flip scrapers.

Take off the U bend , and use a snake.

So just remove the rodding point outside altogether? I'd be happy if that'll work as it's much less of an eyesore.

Further to this, why the hell are the white swept bends bigger than the black? I've already cut the pipe now white I waited for them to come into store, proper seen me off 😤
