Hi there,
Attached two photos.
For some context, I’m getting a new water supply. I’m getting it moled from my boundary to where it goes into my property. It will then go in an INSUduct up the wall and through the wall into my kitchen. You can see where I’ve cut the hole for my new water supply it’s the blue duct with insulation inside.
The issue is, the washing machine waste comes across and into the gulley that the kitchen basin waste goes out into. You can see where the washing machine waste comes in the first photo, by the black bin liner to the left of the door. It then runs into the gully, and presumably into that 5 inch clay pipe.
The 40mm washing machine waste will make installing the
INSUduct near impossible. The black pipe is a gas pipe which I’m having rerouted anyway (new boiler).
So…. on to my question. Can I use a boss and connect the 40mm washing machine waste to the clay soil pipe underground? I’d put an access point in the 40mm pipe above ground so you could get into it if there was an issue.
Something like this:
Will a standard 57mm holesaw cut through clay ok? If not I suppose the option is to expose some more of the clay pipe, cut out a section of it and connect a bit of plastic and boss into that. I’d rather not do that, but if it’s best I will.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to preemptively answer some of the ‘why are you doing this’ type questions.
