waste pipe

Hi All, Very limited knowledge of plumbing so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to re-organise the bathroom in our bungalow. Currently, the toilet is on the external wall, and I would like to have it on an internal wall. Would I be able to re-route the waste pipe back to...

Current layout is as shown in picture 1. We want to add to this setup as shown in picture 2. (2 sinks and a washing machine all feeding into external soil pipe tower) Will this work/ how would you improve it? Does it need a vent anywhere? (The soil pipe tower is outside, the toilet is inside, I...

Our external waste pipe started leaking on a joint. As you can see, it was previously covered with something on the outside to stop the previous leak, supposedly. It's not a big leak, just droplets of water, but over time, it started to look like this. I believe the only option is to replace the...

I will be connecting a dishwasher to this sink however I'm not sure how I would get this connected since the pipes go off directly from the bottle trap and guessing all the other pipes have been glued. I thought to change everything to the McAlpine Single Appliance Trap (81714) but don't think...

Hi all, Newbiew here... hope the community can help... Our builders had to add an additional joist to ensure the span was not more than 600mm. Annoyingly, they've placed it 102mm away from the other joist and right above where our drainage for the new svp comes up from the ground. To avoid...

Ive just bought a Samsung Heat Pump tumble dryer (10mm hose drain pipe) and want to put it in my airing cupboard (big enough with enough ventilation) in the airing cupboard is a copper waste pipe (22m) after a tun dish from the TRV valve of an unvented system. Is it possible with the right tee...

Hi, is it possible to get a shower trap which will fit inch and a quarter waste pipe? I ordered a standard one and the nut that was on my old one won’t screw onto the new one, looks too big

Hi, First time posting, but I've got a problem with a drainage pipe. This is a picture of my sink drainage, currently blocked because the drain on the left keeps pushing silt. Now, the drain on the left I've no idea what it's for, as its not connected to anything (as far as I can tell, looks to...

I have a problem regarding a toilet install I went to fit the toilet and I could not remove the old one from the waste pipe I live in a flat and there is no real access to the soil pipe stackI tried budging with the oil wrench type of tool but seems solid Cannot just cut it back because the back...

Hello! Previous owners had their washing machine plumbed in underneath the boiler and we’re looking to do the same. My best guess is that they’ve used the cold water pipe circled in red for water in, and then just stuck the waste pipe from the washer into the open pipe circled in blue. What...

Hi Community, Excuse me if my technical language isn't up to scratch but im a keen DIYer and not a professional. I'm renovating an old Victorian house (pre 1850's) and currently installing a new kitchen into what was an old snooker room, which means all of the services to this part of the...

I'm trying to combine the 2 waste hoses above to connect to the horizontal waste pipe in pic. I found this twin-hose connector: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mcalpine-twin-hose-connector-40mm/206hr but it says it has to be installed in the vertical position, as in the product shot. Is there an...

So I’m about to fit a new kitchen in my flat I just need to know if the system I have in mind will work so I’m here for HELP!!! I’ve made a sketch so you might understand my intentions and what I’m wondering is: Will it work? Is ok to have 2 p traps in one line? If this is garbage what should I...

Hi plumbers! Total novice here, which am sure will become clear. Currently living on a Scottish island where tradesmen are as rare as haggis in the wild, and appreciate some advice please. The previous owner had a new combi boiler fitted and removed the old washing machine. As per pic the...

Hello, redoing our bathroom and hoping to shorten the 4 inch waste pipe so that it end in the corner. It doesn’t seem to go anywhere just to the end of where it’s been boxed in. Does anyone see any issue with me shortening it to the corner? Or does it have to be a certain height? Want to cut it...

Hi all, Noticed a leak coming from soil stack as currently exposed. Cut a hole through a floorboard to check it out. And the picture is the result. Think it has been leaking for years as when I exposed the soil stack there were a bunch on argos catalogs mopping up the drip. Best solution...

I have three questions regarding extending the bathroom waste pipes in a 1950s local authority-built tower block. The original waste pipes are all copper and run to a steel soil pipe. There is also extra copper piping connected to what I'm guessing is an air-inlet pipe. At some point, a new...

Hello, I have a gutter downpipe with an OD of 64mm which ends above my garage floor hence the water runs over the surface as the nearest drain is about 3m away however there is a smaller size waste pipe near it which runs to the drains and has an OD of 43mm and it is welded to a an elbow...

What minimum gradient could I get away with for a 40 mm paste pipe? I believe the building regs state a gradient of 1-in-6. Due to various constraints, most of the pipework I plan to install will have a gradient of no more than about 1-in-12. Would that be sufficient to allow the waste to flow...

I'm installing a "hockey stick" trap to take the wastewater hose from an AEG L7WBG751R washer-drier. The 40 mm wastewater pipe comes through the wall at a height of approximately 40 cm from the floor. The vertical height of the trap is about 60 cm, meaning the top of the trap where the...
