WC into understairs pantry - nightmare

[Hugh Jaleak]

Use this https://mcalpineplumbing.com/plastic-chrome-fittings/drain-connectors/drain-connector-with-boss/ gets you as low as possible for the waste connection, and provides more flexibility with the shower waste options. You can soon drop down, you cannot come up.

Shower waste, look at a trap with a removeable insert, which will allow cleaning from above. Do waste runs in solvent weld pipework, and use swept bends rather than knuckle elbows, to aid flow and make future cleaning easier. Appropriate Traps on basin and shower (sinks are found in kitchens etc), and properly run pipework, keep it as short and straight as you can, and you should have no issues with odour.

Thanks. Make sense.

Did have a query about the Pantry floor. I was told it was quarry tiled floor and should not put plywood on top for lino as it would sweat. It does seem a bit damp as possibility there is no ventilation in the pantry currently.

Is it desirable to expose this traditional tiled floor? Can it be improved somehow, polished or cleaned easily?

Or if the floor is not that level, is it better to put some self level compound on it and finish it off with some flooring?

Hey, really appreciate some feedback as dunno what to do and have to sort floor out this weekend before plumber bloke comes,,,

Tried cleaning the quarry tiles up, but they still look a bit naff and make the space look dingy...

Sounds like throwing down some self levelling compound will provide a platform for some nice olde' tiles instead.

Bit worried about damp stuff, so if I put down a damp proof membrane I should be covered in case there isn't one?

Do I have paint on something like this on the tiles and give it time to dry?

Or could I just put this down and then plop the self level compound down on top of it?

Really welcome any feedback as have to do something quickly before plumba comes(!!)

Kept the previous floor as quarry tiles.

Ripped out the old garage WC and put some pipe plumbing in...

Connector with boss into an elbow, into an offset and then 110mm pipe through the wall...

Waste Connects to the WC on the other side and into the pan waste...

But the garage waste piping is not sitting completely level to the floor...

And slight lift on the front of the connector into the ground...

Anyone think this gap with the connector not being flush with the floor is a big issue? - and should do something different for this piping?

Don't want any future leaks or smells in this area as there will be a new raised floor in this area and a shower ontop of this elbow waste piping.

Don't like all these connectors, but think I have an option other then to use an offset on top of the elbow. Looks a bit of a mess but not sure if there are any options I am missing?
