Hi,
I'm in the process of renovating our bathroom and am trying to think of the best way to route the waste pipes from the bath and sink.
Unfortunately i don't have/know how to upload a picture, so i will try to describe the layout as best i can!
Running from left to right along one wall (external to rear) there is the bath, then the sink unit, then the toilet and then the soil stack.
The original bath waste pipe went from the bath at floor level all the way to the soil stack.
The original sink waste went above the bath waste and joined the soil stack slightly higher.
The toilet is on a 90 degree elbow straight into the soil stack.
I think i have 2 options.
1: Run the bath waste following the original route along the floor to the soil stack, but with a T piece under the sink unit to join in the sink waste.
(TBH there isn't a massive fall in the pipes level from bath to soil stack, but there was never an issue in the past and there appeared to be no standing water in it when i removed it.)
Also, should i box this in all along the wall, or will one single pipe not draw the eye that badly??
2: Take both bath and sink wastes straight out the back wall and join externally.
This will definitely look nicer inside, but i'm not sure what to do about connecting up to the soil stack, as its internal to the house, not external.
Sorry for the long winded post,
Any help gratefully received!
Dave
