main inlet cutoff in a brett martin IC?

[Bob a job]

Hi All,

I am building an extension and need to re-route one of the connections to an IC.

I have a Brett Martin 450mm IC and it looks like this connection that will be removed is the main inlet. This would leave a branch connection and the exit only.

I know that this will likely cause backing up as there will be no main flow, is there a way around this without digging out the chamber and turning it so the inlet is used again (chamber goes down 1.5 metres!)

Many thanks in advance,

Bob

Just hose it out every once in a while. There are thousands of chambers out there with unused inlets gathering waste. Whilst not ideal it's not the crime of the century.

See if the BCO will allow you to run a storm inlet in there to keep the through channel clear.......
