rog Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 As a first for me I will shortly be fitting one of these in a town house on mains drainage.Any advice/warnings would be greatfully received.Can I also tap in to the out going line for wastes from other bathroom fittings without fear of sewage waste backing up into other sanitory ware?I have already gleaned that going cheap is a no no.

Is that only for newer fosses of a particular type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't want your dirty deeds, even shredded, going straight into the ditch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
