waste

Hi all, Wanted some advice on an outside bottle gully that I currently have. At the moment it has 3 appliance waste pipes going into the top of it and a redundant waste pipe on the side (which I want to use for a ACO driveway drain). The outlet feeds direct to the main drain (confirmed by...

Hi all, Hoping for some advice. I'm a self builder and I am about to put in the plumbing for 2 ensuites and a main bathroom. Each has a toilet and it's the waste pipe to soil pipe plumbing that I need a little help with. 1 toilet will go up against an outside wall so I'm OK with that one as I...

Attached is a ground floor picture of the soil pipe in our home. There was originally a toilet which has now been permanently capped off and you can also see a sink waste pipe attached. My plan is to drill out one of the 50mm sockets directly opposite the current sink waste for a new 40mm...

I am redoing my downstairs loo. This involves moving the location of the sink so I will add a waste pipe boss behind the loo and I need to block up the old waste pipe feed into the soil pipe under the floor. I thought this would be so pulled out the existing pipe and put in a 40mm plug: The...

I'm putting two bathrooms back to back, with the waste running through the stud wall between the two. In to the 50mm waste I'll have a shower, and three basins drains (one basin is a double) - as pictured. Would you recommend an air admittance valve be put in the wall near the shower end to...

We have inherited a neglected shower in the en-suite with a house we bought recently. Is it possible to replace the manky peeling chrome waste on this Mira shower tray without remove the shower tray? I don't want to try and force it for fear of it coming to pieces and making work for myself...

Hi, I would appreciate your opinions on the best way to proceed with the waste pipes in my bathroom. I've attached photos of the current layout inside and outside. As you can see everything at the moment is lead, which I guess means it was done 50 or so years ago. Pipe 1 is from the basin and...

Hi, I'm new here. We're redoing our bathroom and would like to join toilet waste on one side of a branch, and a conjoined bath and basin on the other side. The regs say this is iffy with a non-swept junction. Would a swept junction like this work if we put a 50mm to 110m offset adapter like...

Hi, I’m wondering what the best course of action is for running my waste from my new kitchen location. I’ll add a photo so it makes more sense but my waste and everything is on the right hand side and I’m moving my kitchen to the party wall side but I need waste for the kitchen sink and the...

Hello all forum members, I've taken bathroom panel this morning and discovered water stain/patch under short boss connector and the bath waste. I've taken it out in order to try and sit it properly and discovered that inbuilt rubber ring has hardened, so it's leaking water. It's one of those...

I am replacing a traditional toilet with a Grohe frame and I need to replace the existing waste connection (see pic below) with the one that comes with the Grohe frame. The connector goes down into the concrete floor and I have no visibility of where it goes/ how it connects. If I just yank it...

I'm putting a washing machine waste on the old sink waste 32mm spiggot/push fit collar on the soil pipe. It looks like the old sink 32mm waste going into the soil pipe was cut to length with a broken roof tile, so the seal is shot. The seat in the old grey 32mm collar is different, so a new O...

Hi. Wanting advice on a house I am thinking of buying. It currently only has a very small toilet and shower downstairs about the size of a standard cloakroom which is totally not practical. Have a spare bedroom upstairs that could be converted but not sure how I would get the waste to the soil...

Hello again, On changing the bathroom suite, I have found the bath drains in to this hole, with the sink draining into a similar hole beside it that leads to the same drain. The bath waste pipe came out with ease, which leads me to worry that the bathroom floor could flood in the event the...

Hello, I have (after hours of 'persuasion', and trying every trick on the internet - smacking it with a hammer did the job in the end!) managed to free my bath's pop-up waste. It's the type that's operated by turning the overflow knob. I'm now reluctant to put it back in, in case it gets stuck...

Appreciate I've posted a few topics recently, but the help I've had while I've been working on my extension has been really very helpful. This time I'm trying to get my head around the best way to connect the rainwater downpipe and the washing machine waste pipe together (68mm and 40mm...

Just plumbing in a new downstairs WC in a small extension. Stud walls are up, water feed is connected up and ready to supply the toilet and washing machine but I've hit a bit of a problem working out how to deal with waste from the toilet... The toilet will be backed up against the rear of the...

We have bought a stone basin for the bathroom and also bought a standard mushroom unslotted basin waste. The problem that we have is the recess cut out for the waste flange in the basin is large (measuring 70mm diameter) and therefore the waste has a large gap around it. Easier to see in the...

We are in the process of installing a new kitchen, and we've hit a problem with the sink. Everything has been replaced, so it's new units & worktops with a 1.5 bowl ceramic top mount sink which has replaced a metal 1 bowl sink. We bought a new waste to fit the 1.5 bowl but when we fitted it...

I have a soil pipe that I plan to remove and I really need some advice on how best to cap it off. It's a cast iron pipe, about a meter high from the ground floor with an air admittance vavle attached. I no longer have anything going to this waste so I'd like to cut it to ground level and cap it...
