Hi,
First time I've posted so apologies in advance.
I want to replace my current toilet, a macerator, with a normal soil pipe. On a side note can I reiterate how rubbish macerators are. Having to live with one is beyond a joke, and I suggest anyone who advocates them should try living with one for anything more than a couple of weeks.
I assume the previous owners had the macerator installed because
1) It's Cheap
2) It's quite a lot distance to the soil vertical pipe
My question is:
I have two ways of doing the soil pipe
either
1) 2.8m straight , 90 degrees and a further 3.2m or
2 )straight out the wall, 90 degrees, 2m, 90 degrees, 2.6m, 90 degrees, 30cm
Both ways the fall is over 1m, but I'm still concerned about the distance and number of bends. I've done plenty of plumbing before but never done a soil pipe.
Can I do either?
Which is better?
Do both conform to building regs?
Will I need a soil pipe guard?
Thanks in advance
