Hi,
I'm building a kitchen extension and started the work on the underground drains. My property is an end of terrace semi.
I need to replace a sewage pipe that runs under our house (our rear kitchen) and connects to our 1st floor toilet. An outside toilet was once also connected to this pipe via smaller clay pipes but has been cemented over.
This larger clay pipe connects to our neighbours in series all along our street. After escavation I can see that I am the first house, there is no neighbouring raw sewage coming into our pipe work. All work is on my property.
I measured the clay pipe and it is aprox 7 1/2 inch (18-19cm) wide, outer width. So my question is with what size upvc pipe should I replace the old pipe, 160mm or 200mm? I was going to go with 160mm but am now unsure. Also if possible, what adapter should I use?
Btw I intend to one day build a Granny Annex at the end of our garden and connect to this pipe.
Thanks in advance.
