Hi,
we are having our bathroom redone to divide it into an ensuite and main bathroom. We'll end up having two showers side by side.
The joists mean the wastes have to run above floor level. To hide the waste rather than boxing it in we had a double stud built with a 65mm gap to run the waste in. The builder reckoned this was plenty as both showers would run in the same 50mm waste pipe (approx 1.8 m run to the external wall).
I've read up on it on the net and I've seen it is best to have sanitary ware with their own individual wastes. If we were to run two showers (not power ones just going to be mira code showers) into the same waste would we encounter problems with smells, gurgling noises and one shower backfilling the other shower?
If so is there anyway to avoid this still using the one 50mm waste?
Also does the 1:40 gradient have to be strictly adhered to or could you get away with a 1:30?
Thanks in advance
