Moving the soil stack.

[Kimberley88]

Not sure if this in the right forum maybe should be building. however my current soil stack goes down the middle of the kitchen and is boxed in which is a real pain. I want to move it outside which appears straight forward enough with easy access to pipes etc.

The problem I have is I am installing an en-suite the toilet of which will be right next to the main one only separated by a stud wall, the first toilet pipe will go through the wall and connect to the new stack via a 92.5"branch similiar to how it is now. But how do I connect the other, I have looked on screwfix and other places in the hope of finding a "T" junction that will take the toilet outlets either side.

Will I have to have, 2 x 92.5" branch pipes underneath each other or is there another solution. Because if I were to keep stack in the house (because of building regs or something) I would be unable to join the second toilet to the stack.

Hope the above is not too confusing.

Can't you join the two WC branches together before they join the vertical stack? I think you can get a "double" branch, but it will be very expensive compared to standard single branch. check manufacturers' sites - e.g. Wavin, Polypipe, Marley, Hunter, etc.
