New Tea Point Plumbing

Teeing in to the 15mm mains pipe ain't a problem - this is normal.

The waste could be, however.

What you need to watch out for is 'syphoning'. If you imagine the basin in the loo being filled up and then the plug opened, the gush of water tries to draw air along with it - and this could easily affect the new sink's trap, emptying it and leaving it 'open', allowing smells to come back out.

I suspect you'll need an air admittance valve installed in this waste pipe, but where exactly I shall leave to the pro's...

PRO'S?!

 

I'm sure doing it internally is ok, but you'd need to ensure that no sucky-syphoning occurs.

PROS?!

Where the hell are the PROS?!

 

I suspect all you'd need to do is to add one of these http://www.drainagecentral.co.uk/40...e-Valve-W237?gclid=COrth9jqys4CFc-6GwodGUYAzw to the waste pipe coming from your new sink.

I guess it's fitted by tee-ing off the waste pipe before it disappears in through the wall. The idea is that it draws in air if there's a slight vacuum in the pipe (say by draining the basin), and air is drawn in through here rather than emptying the sink's trap.

Totally doable.

 

I'm here, no need to shout, just slicing up my new black pudding, all the way from the Isle of Lewis...

Why not use a antic vac sink trap?

OP, just trying to clear up waste pipe 36mm size, basin is usually 32mm pipe, unless they used 40mm pipe & reduced it down for a 32mm basin trap.

I presume waste pipe for basin goes straight down behind basin, if it is 40mm, then you could cut pipe insert a Tee fitting to take new waste pipe coming through wall.

If 40mm pipe, it's ample for sink & dishwasher.

Which one ... there are three good black pudding makers up there and all taste different! On a recent fishing trip, one of te group comes from Lewis and he brought several across. So, Saturday lunch was barbecued sirloin steak, three different black pudding to evaluate along with several single malts!

 

Using Charle MacLeod black pudding at the moment, did try one other brand, but went back to Macleod.
Out of intrest who are the three good black pudding makers up there.

Charley Barley?! Man, that takes me back...

 

Charle MacLeod black pudding absolutely delicious, lovely flavour, luckily we have a few butchers around here who stock them.

I've been thinking about ordering some Stornoway Smokehouse salmon.
Want to try their Lewis Whisky Cured Smoked Salmon,500grms is £34.

Just for you perusal DA...

That'll soon change when we Skots are in the EU and you bunch of pansy Englanders are oot.

Ya bass.

 

If those Jocks get their way, the bar-stewards will want to rebuild wall then & charge us a toll, like the taffs do.

 

MacLeod is one of them, and I cannot remember the others - too much of Speyside's finest. I say three - that is what I am told by the Scots I fish with and the partner of one is in te butchery trade and she source them all.

 

Will have to google.

Stornoway smoked kippers is something else I missed, lived on them when I was up in Lewis 30 years ago.

 

Sirloin steak, fried mushrooms and onions, Stornoway Black Pudding along with Skirly and Haggis both made by a butcher friend from Buckie! Washed down with a variety of 15, 16, 18, 21 yo single malts.

 

What were you doing on Lewis, KIAB?

 

Chaperone to a young lady for a few months.

Was going planning to have a holiday up there this year, but it will have to be next summer now.

Changed a lot in 30 years,& Stornoway so many changes.
