Hey guys, please bear with me on this one, it's a thought I come up with today and would like to quickly put it forward to see if it's doable.

Basically, we are doing the kitchen and bathroom this year, which will include moving of walls etc and hopefully, I would like to bring the soil stack inside.

Here is the current set up...








Originally, I thought of bringing it inside on the same wall and boxing it in.
But today I thought, I've got a stud wall going up, so I could enclose it in there, and bring it along the bottom of the bath, and down.
Something like this... (Please excuse the dodgy pics)





The wall that i show it passing through will be coming down, and a stud wall going up where I show the stack to go.

I've also thought then the kitchen waste could be taken to this, shown in orange.

I then plan for it to go above the ceiling to an AAV for now, as eventually we will be doing a hip to gable loft conversion with an upstairs shower room.


I understand there's more to it than this and BC will need to be involved, which they'll be in anyway, but just wondering if this is feasible or not.

Thanks in advance!
 
Are you building the studwall across the window?!
 
If you do it that way you will need a sweep bend at the bottom, access above that. Support the weight of the pipe work off the floor.

Is the existing not vented? Post a photo of the whole outside pipe work.

Yes I thought that, a 'long radius bend'?

It would then attach to where to toilet goes down now, then how could I attach the new toilet? ( pretty much where it is now)

It is vented, the picture that you can just about see the stack, just goes up another meter from there. (This is a bungalow.)

Cheers
