Hi. New forum member here.
I am in the process of adapting our garage to house a washing machine and possibly a small sink.
I will be digging a trench across the garden for the necessary services (electric, cold water and drainage).
I'm happy with the required depths for each of the services. Planning to put water at around 900mm, drainage at around 750mm and then electric around 600mm (correct me if this is incorrect).
Mostly its straight forward, but I'm struggling to get a consistent and correct answer regarding the drainage.
Questions are...
Given its purely washing machine and sink waste. Do I need the run from the garage to the combined sewer pipe to be fitted with access points?
Currently planning to fit a branch into a straight section of clay pipe between 2 man holes (inspection chambers are concrete and only have inlet/outlets so I can't attach to these).
Is it ok to connect waste water drainage into an existing drain pipe in this way? I can't see another way to do it.
I've had a ground worker look at it and he was just going to cut into the existing pipe and bury it all. No access points until it gets into the garage!
Any help/assistance would be much appreciated.
