I want to connect a proposed kitchen sink and washing machine (on the same floor level) to the existing waste connections in my bathroom. The run is 4.5m horizontally connecting to a 65mm (or so) upvc bath waste pipe. This pipe in turn connects to the external waste vent pipe outside my flat by about another meter.
The proposed 4.5m run is a very shallow gradient of 1:80 (or 1:60 max if I eek out every last millimetre). Saniflo recommend a min of 1:100. If I use a Sanivite for solely pushing the waste out horizontally over such a shallow gradient would this be feasible?
This page illustrates what I'm after: http://www.bathroomexpress.co.uk/saniflo/Sanivite_Installation.htm
Are Saniflos any more efficient just doing their job horizontally, in terms of performance; without having to do the vertical pushing that they are more commonly used for? (yeuchh). Also a consideration is the noise. Is it way too much? These things were designed by a Frenchman: Is this a worry?
I would also feel much safer with a rodding eye at the point where the 32mm pvc pipe has finished it's shenananigens out of the Sanivite, dropped down to below floor level and then begun it's shallow 4.5m run to to the bathroom. This is so I can clear the pipe of gunk every now and again. I found this link for "solvent weld 32mm waste pipe rodding eyes"... http://www.mrplumberman.net/product.asp?article=solventeyes.xml
Thanks in advance for all the annoying questions.. and dear gawd.. just realised i've asked (sic) ****loads of them...
Cheers, Jamie
BTW: Any experienced fitters in or around the Dundee (UK) area??
