Hi All
We've had built two bedrooms and an en suite bathroom in the roof of our chalet bungalow and its my job to fit them out. The en suite is at the front and the soil stack is at the back, a straight run of about 16 feet. The bath will be next to the toilet and the waste for this can run beside the toilet waste and eventually run into it outside, I guess a run of 18 feet. The basin is another story, its really going to be on the wrong wall for an efficient waste. The way I see it is it will need to run along the front wall of the ensuite before turning at right angles and joining up, or running along side with the bath waste. The more I try to tweak the layout, the more confused I get. So, the questions on the above I have are.
Is this macerator time? With such long distances involved, especially for the sink.
What is the minimum drop required on the toilet waste. I was told I'll need a 1:50 drop. The distance between the downstairs celiing and the floor upstairs is 9 inches. If I use a 4" pipe, I have a 5" drop, which would allow me to run a waste pipe for 250", or just over 20 feet. IS this right?
If I do need a macerator, are they available to take the waste from the batch, toliet and basin?
thanks
Ian
