soil stacks

browfish · 18 Nov 2006

I am installing a downstairs toilet in my extension. I have run a soil pipe down the side of the house to the sewer but becuase it is such a long run (about 15m) and due to the slope of the ground, it gets very close to the surface at its highest point, just a couple of inches below. Is this ok? I intend to cast a concrete path down the side of the path later which should protect it.

Also, if the toilet (with basin Teed in) pipe comes horizontally out the wall, do i simply connect it to the soil pipe with a couple of elbows? or do i have to use one of those large radius bends? If this is the case, there isnt enough height difference to accomodate this. What should i do?

thanks

You are probably the only person in the world who knows what you are talking about.
What get`s closest to the surface? you can`t just bang in a soil stack & tie in all sorts of appliances, lengths, gradients, number of appliances & all sorts have to be taken into consideration. Another short cut merchant who will be shocked after doing it all himself & finding out his house always smells of sH**it.

No. Bamber is right.

Also, bearing in mind that your proposed work is subject to Building Control, the best person to ask your questions of is your LABCO.
