We live in a flat and have a combined immersion/cold tank. The immersion section is at the bottom and has a small cold tank on the top. Coming out of the cold tank is an overflow pipe right at the top. This used to connect into the bath waste when the bath was on the other side of the wall (in the bathroom) but we've moved things around and now on the otherside of the wall is a shower cubicle.
We have redone the overflow pipe (as it was leaking) and have got it through into the bathroom under the shower tray but now need to connect it into the 40mm pipe that the shower connects to (and then goes into the soil pipe). We've bought a kit that cuts a hole into the pipe but have realised that if we connect it straight into the pipe that there will be no trap stopping the smell from the shared soil stack going into the water tank and out of my airing cupboard!
I've searched on the web and have read about tundish connectors but what we really want some way of stopping the smell but allowing any water to get through. We keep an eye on the tank so we would know it was overflowing (and have a meter) and as the pipe is under the the shower tray we won't be able to see the connector.
Is a tundish what we need? We've used standard 19mm overflow pipe and I've looked on the McAlpine site but can't workout what we need to buy.
Any help, as always, appreciated.
