I'm installing a new soil pipe from a new bathroom to connect to where the original pipe is under the old bathroom. The intention is for this to carry waste from the toilet, basin, shower and bath.
I will need to ask building control to come out and inspect but don't want them to be wasting their time if wrong or mine installing something which is wholly not acceptable ('m new to this)
The old system had an un-vented clay run from the toilet to inspection chamber (the vent comes off another branch in the chamber) and i'm looking to connect to this clay pipe and carry it on to the other side of the house.
There will need to be a few turns in it which is a worry for rodding purposes as i don't want to have to have a hatch in the house to get to it. I know that the regs state that any change in gradient should be roddable. I should be able to make it just three 45's in the main pipe but also a branch here or there. Do BC say that a 45 bend is roddable?
Venting...A few choices with this idea for the layout.
1. leave it un-vented and let the other branch off the IC be the vent?
2. Put an AAV behind the toilet (under the stairs behind a stud wall with access)
3. Run a further pipe with the other side of the Y branch outside to give a proper vent outside.
I'd rather 1 or 2 to avoid having the visible vent on this side of the house but not sure what I will need?
Attaching a couple of drawings to help show what i'm talking about (hopefully)...
Does this look like something viable?
Thanks for any help
