Hi All, this is my first posting.
I have a downstairs toilet on the front wall of my house, that connects directly from the pan into the soil pipe in the floor.
The downstairs pan coupler is a space-saving type and fits directly onto the pan and then directly into the floor. There isn't any external soil pipe.
I want to install a new toilet, with macerator, on the first floor, almost directly above the existing one. There isn't any room to fit a 4" soil pipe under the floor-boarding and I really don't want soil pipework on the front of my house to connect to the sewer.
Can I install a 90 degree pan coupler, that has a waste connection, to the existing toilet pan and connect the macerator pipework to that? Or use a normal 90 degree pan coupler and attach a strap and boss on the vertical part.
The length of run from macerator to existing pipework would be 1.5 metres horizontal then 2.5 metres vertical.
Would the pressure from the macerator get forced into the existing toilet and up into the room, using either couplers? Or are macerators not that strong and the slurry would simply drain away?
Any help or hints would be most welcome. Ken
