Hi all.
I’ve been reading quite a few threads on here and it’s given me loads more to consider for what I thought was a straight forward job. But your thoughts would be most welcome.
I’m putting a new wash basin with pedestal in my upstairs bathroom (having removed the old one). I think I’m clear with everything from most of the many posts on this so far bar a couple of minor details with the wastes.
There is/was a shower, bath and basin all with separate waste pipes going through wall to outside where the shower then joins the bath waste, these two wastes then head over to the toilet stack.
However between where the shower comes through wall and toilet stack is the down pipe for the guttering, so currently the shower waste come right away from the wall and IMO its all joined quite badly so nothing quite holds together (its all loose and sags creating a lower bit trapping the shower water). I will try add a photo later.
To tidy everything up I was going to put a hopper into the guttering and drop all the wastes into that so nothing has to get to the toilet stack. Is this alright, or do I still need to have these wastes going into the toilet stack?
Also, if I’m looking at joining the basin and bath wastes under the floorboards am I right to be using a solvent joint with a HepO (?) pedestal trap fitted on basin?
Maybe I’m being too picky, but I want to get it right as most of it is under the floorboards and I don’t want to have to lift them again.
Many thanks in advance for any comments this might get.
