Hi
I have lived in my home for well over ten years now and it has always frustrated me as to what this pipe work under the stairs was all about due to the fact it looks to be a right mess. I am wondering if anyone can shed an light onto what the various components might be doing.
I know the red arrow if the mains feed to the house with the internal stop cock just above. The pipe marked with the green arrow is the cold feed to the downstairs toilet and basin. I assume the two feeds going back downwards under the floor go off to feed the kitchen and upstairs bathroom. What is the item at the top marked with a blue arrow; seems like it might be some of air valve? Also why are there two drain offs; is this normal on mains pipes?
Sorry for the weird question; I am keen to understand.
Thanks
Graham
