Help. I'm changing a groundfloor toilet into a bathroom by adding a shower and a basin. The basin waste is ok, but how can i join a shower waste to the existing ground level toilet waste without raising the shower up by about a foot to get a decent fall (I don't want to use a macerator)! Is it ok to join the 40mm pipe to a boss underground?
I was hoping to 'Tee' the basin waste into the shower waste underground and run this pipe to the toilet soil pipe and connect into it (all below ground)!
Any thoughts!
I would welcome any help as I've just dug channels in the concrete floor and not sure how to proceed.

Common practice is to raise the shower tray by approx 6 inches. You don't need a great fall for a shower, 20 mm will suffice per metre.

As for the underground stuff, well you should consult BCOs for advice.

Maybe the other guys will help you more on this one. :D
