I want to fit a bath and toilet on the ground floor. I need to lay all new drains for it. Can I terminate the 110 soil pipe with an elbow to bring it up to floor level and connect the bath waste to it and then connect the toilet a couple of feet downstream using an eqal tee? Are tee connectors available with a slow bend or wouldn't that be necessary in this case. It has got be seen by a BCO. Also, do I only need one vent pipe for the whole system? there is already one on the other side of the house. Any answers please?

Just a quick one on this.
Some time ago, I was looking at a similar thing - connecting the bath waste into the soil pipe.
Plumber mate told me not to as the smell of poop may come through the empty bath waste pipe up through the plug hole in the bath when not in use.
Was that just a load of BS???
On his advice, I never did it that way. I am now wondering if he was wrong.
Thanks

I dont see why it shouldn't work. Ican fit an air admittance valve to stop the p trap emptying when the toilet flushes. It's all about keeping the BCO happy. Not being a plumber either, I didn't know if it would be a cardinal sin!
Why not explain your intention to him.
It sounds dodgy to me, any blockage, and your bath waste pipe will fill with waste from WC.
