Dear All,
My master bedroom en suite waste pipe come out of the siphon flow (see image 1) runs under the mater bedroom floor board to the second bedroom (see image 2 the grey pipe) then outside the wall to connect to the house main swear 4 inch pipe which is at the back of 3 beds typical mid traced house. This pipe gets very often blocked and the pressure build up resulting in splitting one of the solvent welded joins, either a coupling union or a 90 degree bend. I was lucky first couple of times that the split was under the floor broad of the en suite which was easy to get access to and repaire. This time the leak in the middle of the sitting room ceiling which is under the master bedroom. To get to it, I have to take all the furniture out, strip the laminating flooring then the floor board which is hard work and I do not think it would solve the problem permanently.
My plan re run the pipe a long the inner walls of the sitting and the dining room to the kitchen, through the house back external wall to the main swear pipe.
My question are:-
1. Does it have to be 22 mm all the way? Or can I connect to either 32mm or 40mm as soon the 22mm comes out of the downstairs landing ceiling . I understand the reason for connecting the siphon flow to 22mm pipe is to maintain the pressure. Obviously, 22mm is cheaper and easy to lay and hide.
2. If I have to run 22mm all the way, is there flexi solvent welded pipe that I can use as one piece all the way to the outside of the house which easy to bend without taking much space or broke.
