Is it possible to run the shower waste into a hopper? There is a old gully for the kitchen water drainage pretty much underneath the bathroom, and running the shower waste into a hopper above that would be soooooo much easier.

My understanding was that open hoppers for waste water were no longer allowed but this post seems to suggest otherwise. Maybe the rule only applies to foul water which by the strict definition, shower waste is not.

Can anyone tidy up this grey area in the rules for me.

You can install your waste pipe to discharge in to the hopper. Hoppers are being phased out, if there is one exsisting then you can replace it however you cannot install one from scratch.
