waste to pan connection

[sychologist]

I wish to connect a shower tray waste to the soil on my loo but need to get as low as possible without having to get a ladder up to the shower tray! The waste in the picture is 32cm above the ground. Is there another fitting I could use maybe on the elbow? I am aware of pumped waste systems but would prefer not to go down that route.

Thanks

have you got enough room on the side to stick a 40mm boss ?

I had thought about a joint on the elbow but was concerned about solids causing a problem as it was on the bend? If you think I'd be ok then that could be the route. Thanks.

have you got a pic showing the soil stack straight on rather than above.

Difficult to do but if you give me a few hours I'll see what I can do. I'll post it on as soon as I can.
Thanks again.

In keeping with 'Single Stack Soil Pipe' design, any waste pipe should connect into the vertical soil pipe;

Hope this view helps.

is this the side you want it to come in from ?

 

[sychologist]

Yes and happy new year to you.

the bent connector that is on the wc bowl is available with a 38mm outlet on the bend which would be in the right position but the height is going to be way too high or would mean the shower being built up on to two small steps

It looks to me as if that is a spigot tee pushed into a connector at floor level. If it is it may be possible to replace it with one with a boss connector on the side.

Thanks for the suggestion. To replace the spigot tee is going to be a bit more complicated as can be seen from the second of the first two pictures as my original plumber was a bit creative in coping with all the services which come into the house in this corner.

As long as it is not going to be a problem I think a bent connector with an outlet may be the easiest and I'll raise the tray to suit.

Thank you everyone for your comments and hope you all have a prosperous new year.

Connect the shower waste to the vertical 110mm soil pipe below any other connection as it's supposed to be and this will give you a low enough connection for a try fitted on the floor, well almost.
Anything else will be a lash-up, not as the system design & a very poor installation.

Lets face it how, how hard can that be to do??!!
