Hi plumbers! Hopefully someone can give me some advice here. Basically, can I do away with this?
View media item 23220
This is behind the bog in my bathroom. As you can (hopefully) see, the waste pipe goes out to the right, underneath floor level, but there is this 'riser' coming upwards, with the bog plumbed in to it just above floor level. All this is boxed in at the moment, but when I redo my bathroom I would like to get rid of this boxed-in arrangement.
What is the purpose of this 'riser' or 'stack'? Is it for inspection/rodding? Is it required? Does it have to be so high? If it needs to stay, could I get away with having it a bit lower, so I could just box it in say up to cistern height?
I hope this makes sense, all replies are appreciated.
Thanks.
