Can you please help me with correct and least problematic pipe runs for bath and basin waste. Two options me thinks.
So, issues are that I’m trying to avoid putting a hole in floorboards to sing a trap. Using a 50mm seal, the outlet can’t sling under the centre length of bath as pipe is restricted by horizontal bath support strut. I thought I could use a 25mm extension to lower trap to clear strut but only 20 mm clear of floor - unless I use a shallow trap … but not really allowed.
I could use a dry valve (McAlpine selfclose or osma hepVO) under bath (but I had issues with one before - long hair keeping valve open) with a knuckle joint that should clear strut and swept Tee into basin waste sand out wall further down
Wasn’t sure if teeing the basin and sink into same run is a good idea or not.
1 – simply route the bath waste direct outside ensuring that connection to SVP is greater than 200mm below WC. The run will be about 265cm of nice shiny black solvent. Gives me least bends but not the prettiest to the rest of the world. Run basin out separate above WC.
2 – Find a way of running bath waste under bath tee into basin. Will look neater outside but more bends inside and of course a tee. Option 3 is a neater version but still need to sling waste under bath
What would you guys do please .. I’m not looking for fastest install but the “right” thing.
Thanks lots, Paul
