soil pipe

Attached is a ground floor picture of the soil pipe in our home. There was originally a toilet which has now been permanently capped off and you can also see a sink waste pipe attached. My plan is to drill out one of the 50mm sockets directly opposite the current sink waste for a new 40mm...

Hi, im putting in some new footing around an existing old ceramic soil pipe. i've been advised not to encase the pipe in soil pipes in concrete (albeit only whilst it passes through 200mm thick of footings ) and try bridge over it. However, i've noticed the pipe has old mortar stuck to it and...

It's a semi detached house with private man hole and drains. The soil pipe is on the side of the building and a new side extension is being built. A new manhole is also being built to move the drains and then connect to main manhole. But for the soil pipe, I think there won't be enough drop...

I want to core drill through the cavity wall, underground, for a soil pipe. Due to the depth and location of the existing outside drains it will be very close to the footing, practically resting on it. It will need to be about a 150 mm opening. Is this a concern for structural stability? DIY-able?

Hi, not sure if this is should be in the plumbing or building forum. I want to install a new ground floor toilet which involves teeing into the existing soil stack below ground level. I have already cut a 4 metre long trench through the floor slab and dug out enough material to install the pipe...

Right next to my shower tray there is a 110 mm soil pipe and i need to feed-in the 40mm waste pipe. Being in a recess, once it is connected up it is virtually inaccessible without taking the tray back out again. :-/ My question relates to the best type of reducer to go with i.e. solvent weld or...

Hello We had a a leak in the kitchen. The roof above is a flat roof on the kitchen extension The best I can work out the problem is on the wall/roof junction. Specifically behind the soil pipe. There is no leading on the wall/roof junction behind the soil pipe. It looks like the roof felt or...

I've recently removed an old and cracked soile pipe from the rear of my house, which I had planned to replace with a nice new PVC soil pipe. I pulled down the cast iron pipe leaving a stump at the bottom to join to. However, I hadn't realised when I got the new pipe that the diameters weere...

I'm planning on moving the toilet in my bathroom along a bit from where it currently sits, but I also need to move my soil pipe vent since it now comes out too close to my new loft velux window. Because of this it I think it makes sense to just move the soil pipe hole to where the new toilet...

Hi there, I'm installing a new toilet in upstairs bathroom, trying to connect the pan to the soil pipe and it looks like the soil pipe is cracking (it's probably 30+ years old at least). It's solvent welded in place, how best can I remove and replace? Thanks

Hi, I'm new here. We're redoing our bathroom and would like to join toilet waste on one side of a branch, and a conjoined bath and basin on the other side. The regs say this is iffy with a non-swept junction. Would a swept junction like this work if we put a 50mm to 110m offset adapter like...

Hello. I'm looking for some advice about a neighbour's outbuilding. The neighbour has built an outbuilding (which is their right of course) but have also connected a soil pipe from the outbuilding all the way down the garden to then join the sewerage system on a shared passageway. The trench...

I need to replace a toilet due to a cracked cistern. I notice the pan connector appears to be what looks like solvent weld type, correct me if I'm wrong. Can the same connector be used on the new toilet or is it best to replace the pan connector as I'm not sure I can find another toilet where...

I am replacing a traditional toilet with a Grohe frame and I need to replace the existing waste connection (see pic below) with the one that comes with the Grohe frame. The connector goes down into the concrete floor and I have no visibility of where it goes/ how it connects. If I just yank it...

Shown connection to clay waste coming in at steep angle from toilet directly behind wall. We are moving toilet further away from the wall and so need shallower angle of connection all the way to clay pipe to get steady drop over the distance. We are not using a mascerator because of sanitary...

Hi. Wanting advice on a house I am thinking of buying. It currently only has a very small toilet and shower downstairs about the size of a standard cloakroom which is totally not practical. Have a spare bedroom upstairs that could be converted but not sure how I would get the waste to the soil...

Hi everyone. I am fitting a new downstairs toilet. However the soil pipe from the upstairs toilet is 4 meters away on the same wall. How much drop will I need in cm? For obvious reasons I don't want to get this wrong. Thanks in advance.

Hello I am about to start my tiling in my upstairs bathroom which I delayed from last year. I just made a quick sketch of my drainage plan. Please see below, is it all good for Uk Regs. My Building Officer told me that it is best to use 50mm. then connect your 40mm pipes to it. Using riding...

I have a soil stack in my attic that I discovered is open. I fitted a Durgo AAV but this caused gases to build up and leak out from the bath p trap. I took the Durgo off and the smell stopped. So I'm thinking I need to vent the soil stack externally. My roof is asymmetrical, it rises to the top...

Just wondering if I can get some advice. I have removed the old toilet, shower and wash basin and the lead soil pipe that ran under the floorboards and out to the soil stack on the exterior. I have cut the soil stack using an angle grinder and know that I need a rubber connector for the old pipe...
