soil pipe relocation

[b21playa]

the bathroom currently has no shower cubical and the only place to put it is where the WC is situated presently.

This means the WC will have to be moved along the wall. Now the main soil pipe is the old cast iron (i think) and I wanted to know how i would go about extending the pipe to be moved over by about a meter.

moving this will enable a 1200 x 900 shower cubicle to be installed

The picture below shows the side view of the property.

Thanks in advance for the help

is there no other way?

Thing is the stack goes through the roof of the utility behind the garage.

is there no adaptor to allow plastic to fit into the cast iron t-piece

You don't have much choice but to connect into the stack at a lower point, therefore you have to modify the stack. This is made harder because it's cast iron, so if it were me I'd replace the upper part with new uPVC soil pipe.

Join the two sections with a GT01 coupling, above that put a new branch connector at a height dictated by the new WC position, and you're well on the way towards having an uncle named Robert.

Drainage centre, plumbers merchants.... all sorts of places.

The best way to cut the iron stack is with a grinder
