Orion Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Is there any reason that soil and waste pipes always seem to be installed internally?Is it permissible/advisable to mount soil pipes and/or waste pipes either partly or completely on the outside. I have a couple of holes through a 800 mm wall already which would save a lot of work but involve some pipes being outside.Any comments or advice welcome.

Mysfloss Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 no reason why you can't put pipes outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bw Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 We have one waste water pipe that's external (all others are internal). One snag is that it freezes in winter (where the elbow between the down-pipe and the horizontal(ish) part is. If you're somewhere temperate that's fine but we're a mile above sea-level in a ski resort so it happened a couple of times last winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piprob Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Local building regulations vary.External pipework is both more weather-prone and more unsightly.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
