Evening all,
I am installing a new en-suite and so are installing a new soil stack at one end of the house, and then running a soil pipe underground through the kitchen while the concrete slab has been taken up for under floor heating. I am having trouble finding a definitive answer on where my soil pipe enters the property, on part H of the building regs it says either install a lintel, or for cored holes it should have 2 flexible couplers either side of the core hole, is this required? I only ask as it seems odd installing 4 potential points of failure where I could have a solid pipe going straight through.
Also, where I am breaking into the existing underground soil pipe outside , I am adding an inspection chamber, it's approximately 12m to where I will then be going up the new soil stack, is it satisfactory having 2 x 22.5 around the midway point of the new run without an additional rodding point or IC?
Thank you in advance!
