I wish to run a waste pipe from a washing machine to the stack which is 5.7m away, with 2 elbows on the way. The limit is normally 3m but if I use an anti syphon unit at the washing machine end and 50mm pipe, can I take this up to 5.7m?
The next problem is the height of the waste at the washing machine after climbing from the stack, as the kitchen floor is below the outside ground level. I can see the top of the brown drain bend at the bottom of the stack and have estimated the point on the stack which will be 450mm above the invert of the drain - path removal will be required to get a true fix. Following this back to the washing machine on a 1deg slope only leaves a 220mm vertical pipe to hook the washing machine waste into, measured from the centre line of the waste. Is this big enough? This is a two story house, can the 450mm above invert be reduced? (I can only gain 110mm before being right on the brown pipe with the boss). So my max possible height of the vertical pipe in the trap is 330mm from waste centre line.
I would look at using a vent pipe running back from the washing machine if this helped.
