Hi.
Please can anyone give me some advice on plumbing my downstairs toilet room?
The toilet is going where the pan connector is, and the sink where the spirit level is.
I am renewing all the copper pipe, including the seized stop tap.
To keep it simple I’m planning on copying the current pipework. I’m planning on cutting the pipe just in front of the stop tap (where you can see copper), and either on the yellow line or on the blue line at the other end above the isolation valve. Which of these would you advise?
From the stop tap, I’m going to run a pipe down with an elbow into a Tee, splitting left for the toilet and running the long pipe towards where the sink is, using flexible tap connectors on to the toilet and sink.
I’m going to solder the tee joints, or would a compression tee do the trick?
Would you recommend this set up of plumbing, or do you have any alternative?
Also, is an isolation valve needed near the sink, considering I’ll have a stop tap 2m away from here anyway?
Thanks for any advice
