Hello,
I am planning to reinstate a period original cast soil stack on my Victorian semi, this will be a slow project as I will source most of the bits reclaimed and be thoroughly prepared before the changeover from PVC so there is minimal bog use down time..
Anyway, as you can see existing PVC stack here. And there are three below ground foul drain points: 1. the gulley with RWP & wastes, left most, 2. the 4" stack, and 3. the brick out house. The out house will be demolished.
Room above is bathroom, where I will be moving the WC pan to the left wall, on the pane of the RWP, so rather than have the soil and RWP cross over, I plan to swap their positions like so:
And replace the trap gully with a rest bend to accept the foul stack.
Yes, connecting the gutter round the corner to the RWP on the rear elevation will take some doing, but solvable..
As indicated, the RWP would then be directed to the rear garden for a SUDS complaint soakaway, and the existing 4" belowground soil connection for it made redundant.
The new cast iron 4" stack serving the new WC pan position on the new elevation (left) would then need to accept the WHB & shower/bath wastes, see marked 'x' in red for wastes requiring connection, presumably I join them into a 50mm PVC within the floor void(?), so then I only have one boss branch connection (green) to make on the stack branch serving the WC?
My questions are a) is this correctish? And b), How do I connect a 2" onto a 4" pipe, because I can only find 4" branches.. I can only find 4" pipe with a 2" swept connection in vintage plumbing catalogues and google images.. Do they still exist, or were they rare in the first place? NB I will be using reclaimed everything for this, and I have trawled reclamation yards to no avail so far..
Any help appreciated!
TIA
