Hi everyone,
This is my first post so here we go
I'm in the process of gutting the downstairs w/c and ideally, I would like to fit a small basin in there.
What I am wanting to know is..... can the waste from the basin be connected into toilet waste pipe which is a 90 deg bend straight down into the floor?
The waste would run around the w/c wall before entering, so it wont be a vertical pipe entry.
I have had a word with our bylaws guy and he seems to think that it wouldn't work as the pressure created by the sudden surge of water when the toilet is flushed could pull the joints apart and also syphon the water from the bottle trap on the basin, allowing the nasty smell to rise through the basin.
If this does happen, would the fitting of a Anti-vac trap prevent this from happening?
The w/c is not near any waste drain outside, nor is it near any other waste pipes which it could be connected into, so I hope that there is some way of making it work.
Sorry about the length of the post.
Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks
