This is the Scenario: Imagine looking at a bathroom with all appliances on one wall, Bath on right, WC in middle and Basin on left.

Currently waste pipe from WC comes out at 90 angle right and carries on about 1 metre past the bath taps and into the hidden soil stack. this is already a problem as the bath waste then goes up and over the WC waste pipe down and into a very tight gap turning right into soil stack! Buts thats another problem!

Is it at all possible to swap the WC adn basin around? Obviously would have to replace the WC waste with a much longer run to the soil stack, but my worry would be then that the WC waste would be to big to then fit the basin and pedestal in front of it. not to mention trying to bring the hot and cold feed to the taps, and the waste out from the sink.

Any one experianced this sort of thing before, personally dont think its worth the grief but would appreciate any advice!

Thanks guys

Measure your pedastel clearance to check if it fits !!

Is the connection on the stack low enough to give required fall??

Will probably look a mess unless boxed in!!
 
Ok, have ditched the 'swapping around' idea.

Another question though, as in my original post the bath waste is to put it lightly a 'nightmare' Really tight, NO room to manouvere anthing due to the extension of the original WC pipe to soil stack. Original installation is a bit of a bodge with the actual bath waste thread being cut down down to allow the trap to connect, which does not give a good seal etc, etc....

can I put a boss around the WC extension and take the bath waste directly into it? Or does this contravene Water regs?

Cheers
