Hi all,
building an en suite nex to the existing family bathroom, so hopefully plumbing can tie in with existing water and waste pipes.
The existing toilets soil pipe drops straight down in the cavity wall where the downstairs toilet connects into it too, then (obviously) into the ground to the sewer.
I'm hoping to put the en suite toilet in line with the existing bathroom one and connect the soil pipe into the existing vertical drop. The distance would be about 2.3m.
I'm hoping that this pipe can be boxed in.
Can anyone advise me on the recommended drop for this length please?
And any concerns that connecting a new pipe into the existing may produce or things to watch out for?
The alternative is a saniflow type deal, but i don't like the look of em.
It's possible that we could take the new soil pipe straight outside, then it could drop as much as it wants before coming back into the house to join the existing vertical soil pipe, but that would make the side of the house a little fugly.
Advice would be appreciated, thanks.
