Soil stack too close to the wall?

[Andy7]

Help!
I've hired a corere ready to fit the soil pipe for a new downstairs bathroom and I'm perplexed...

The soil pipe sticking out of the ground that my builder put in for me is VERY close to the wall. I've offered up a 90deg bend to the opening and there's just no space for the plug-end to push into the pipe I want to come through the wall.

Any connector that I see that will plug into my brown soil socket would clout against the wall. Although if I turn it sideways it fits just nicely. But that doesn't help.

I've not cored my hole yet, so can change the position. Orginally, I wanted to have it directly above the stack socket, but there's some advantage to having it about 400mm to the side too.

ANY help would be good as the corer has to go back to speedyhire at noon tomorrow!

to confusing.

Can you not put 2 x 45 degree bends together and roll them away from the wall ? Dont know if you have the height for this though.

 

[Andy7]

yeah, I considered that.

I've only got 230mm from the top lip of the access to the centre of where I need to enter the wall.

The lip of the brown acess socket where it comes out of the ground is actually TOUCHING the wall. Is this normal?

Here's a diagram of what I've got...

Should be 1" from wall to back of soil pipe. Can you not core the hole out and smash a bigger hole on the outside, use glued fittings as there isn't a knuckle on the tee. If you use the 45 bends straight after the tee you can roll the soil off the wall to suit the brackets or "lean" the pipe away from the wall. Apart from digging up the floor i cant think of another way.

I think that'll do it.... yeah, glued joints. Used those for all my 40mm waste. SO much more reliable than compression joints. And peace of mind that they'll be water-tight in my new stud walling

So: next challenge...

1. Get car serviced (they want to do a critical software update - grr)
2. Core my holes.
3. Get the equipment back to SpeedyHire
3. Buy loads of new bits from PlumbCentre...


ALL BY NOON.. AIEEE!!!
