Retro fit rodding eye.

[Gossamer]

Morning. An inspector has asked I fit a rodding access to new 110 waste pipe which runs from an upstairs bathroom.

I’ve purchased one of these (see below) and wonder the best place to attach.

Thanks.

Seems like a stupid request to fit on a home system. What is the actual risk of a blockage?

Just tell him you will fit one when you actually need to - the process is exactly the same - you cut in to the pipe!

Any access point must be fitted in a place where it can actually be used and rods used easily, not where it is easy to fit or looks good

I fit these for access in soilstacks:

Fernco Access Point Bung Soil & Drain Pipe Inspection DN70 DN100 and DN150 CCTV | eBay UK

The fitting can be removed and refitted for future access into the line. Fitting DN70, DN100 and DN150 pipes of plastic, ductile and cast iron materials, the Access Point is a perfect on-the-job essential.

You would normally incorporate a fitting like this as you build the stack...

I’m following a builder doing some snagging. The client wants it. Was going to fit it on top of the the horizontal run so it definitely won’t leak. Means you need a step ladder to access for rodding.

Yes but the builder didn’t and I dont want to mess about with the already installed stack. Hence the retrofit.

I've had a similar issue. Council BC demanded it... tried to argue, but there was no way. They would not issue a compliance certificate without it, so builder fitted a boss connector at the bottom of the svp so its reachable w/out any ladders.

I fit the Fernco access point for jetiting a stack or hidden manhole.
