soil pipe

I’ve had a rodent problem in the loft (I know they are in the drain because I saw rats in inspection chamber). The soil stack appears intact in the vertical loft section and vented at roof. I’m pushing the insurance to get a drain survey (water company did cctv the drain and said no defects)...

Hi all We are currently renovating our house and would like to know if we can move the toilet soil pipe a few feet from its current position? Basically, we had an airing cupboard on the landing. That airing cupboard back wall backed on to the toilet. so, for example...If you were in the...

Hi, I'm doing a bathroom refurb and wanting to move both the WC and wash basin over to the right. In the picture attached, green is how I think I should position the new WC and orange is how I think I should position the new wash basin. I know that the waste pips should have a slope between...

I am moving the position of a WC which connects to the roof vent pipe and discharge pipe. To do so I would like to rotate the soil pipe about 40 degree anti clockwise. My question is: will the multi purpose boss connector the soil connects to rotate if I re position it? Thank you once again.

Hi All, Having the layout on the ground floor reworked, the plans to do so included moving the internal vertical soil pipe on the ground floor too. This pipe picks up the bathroom and en-suite on the 1st floor, and bathroom on the top attic floor too. So quite a bit goes through it, though on...

We live in a Victorian apartment on 1st floor. Our new upstairs neighbours want to relocate their toilet from the outside wall to an inside wall and run the soil pipe through an unused chimney. Is that wise?

After some advice. I have had my floor done downstairs but the current waste inlet is too low for the basin waste and will need boxing in and also the pan waste in the floor isn’t in the center of the room. I have a back to wall toilet and will be installing a floating sink. I plan on chasing...

Hi everyone, I'm an interior designer working on a small residential project, and have a bath that is approx 5m from a vented soil stack, with one bend in the pipe as it exits the building to the exterior then connecting to the stack. I know building regs stipulates that the max run of a 50mm...

OK so I've started and my original plan is looking good. Is the bottom of that boss push fit? Will brute force get it off? If not how am I going to cut it out .. is there a fabulous tool that will get in there between two joists and a wall. 🤯 Really don't want to be damaging kitchen underneath...

Hi. Could anyone advise if this is a push fit fitting that I can rotate? If I had to cut out the section I'd have to do from below in the kitchen which might be problematic. I've applied some wd40 in prep for when I disconnect toilet but not sure if it will move. Thanks

Hi, Im hoping someone could give me some advice please. I'm new to this site so please forgive me if I'm posting incorrectly or in the wrong place. I am looking for advice on my neighbours bathroom waste pipe. I'll try to explain this as best as I can. Our neighbours house is set forward from...

Hi, I'm a Gas Engineer currently renovating my new house. I'm not too clued up on running waste, soil stacks etc so looking for a bit of advice We had an existing 3 1/2 inch waste pipe running out the back. We are extending out to the back now and have cut the pipe down. Stepped it upto 4 inch...

Morning, sorry for such a basic question but I I don't know what fitting to use! I have a fitted toilet which is being removed and a small kitchen sink being put in place. The soil pipe is coming out of the wall horizontally. I'm used to a boss fitting but I need to blank this? I saw a fitting...

It’s time to buy a new toilet and I need to ensure that the one i buy will meet up correctly with the soil pipe outlet (sunk in floor), such that the cistern sits against the wall. My question is, is it necessary for a pan spigot to fully insert into the soil pipe connector (McAlpine WC-CON8)...

Hi, Need some advice about a soil pipe in 1966ish built ex-mod property. We have suspected but not be able to prove that since some heavy vibration from Pilling for a school across the road was done that our soil pipe has cracked, we are 99% sure it's cast iron from what neighbours have said...

Hi I need to connect a kitchen sink to a soil stack but the soil stack has an inspection hatch and what looks like a reducer into a clay pipe into the floor making it very difficult to fit a boss. This should be pretty straightforward with a boss, but the level where the boss needs to fit is...

Hi could anybody tell me or post a link for the correct fall / gradient for a 40 mm and 50 mm drain pipe ( Shower ) connecting into a new soil stack im guessing it would be one in something or degrees Thanks

Hello, I would very much appreciate some help/feedback on what I am proposing for my very small ensuite bathroom. While refurbishing it I’m proposing to add a shower. It’s just 1.2m x 1.6m. I have seen similar posts to this on the forum but not quite my situation. I am proposing to run one...

Hi chaps, I’m installing wall hung toilet with a frame. I’m looking to run waste pipe without a flexi, but can’t figure out what’s on the market that will do that. The waste on the frame is 90mm and has grooves for attaching into the frame and my soil stack is 110mm. I’m out by about 50mm...

Parents have had a steel beam put into their hallway ceiling to adequately support landing and stairs. This means that the waste from a sink and shower will need to be reinstated slightly lower into the soil pipe, as the pipes will now run under rather than through the beams (the joists will be...
