clarksinfrance Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Can't answer the first part about the fosse pipes, but the second part regarding downpipes, it depends where you live, in our village a definate no-no. Ask at the Mairie for a definitive answer (get it in writing) for your location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Sue - surely the number of people creating the waste is as relevant as the number of bathrooms ?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Logical question, people dont tend to increase their waste outlet because there are more outlets for that waste.It could of course be a B & B conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroisChatNoir Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Run the small waste pipes (40mm bath, shower & sink) separately until they join the large one or it'll gurgle, connect each large waste (100mm) separately onto the down pipe with a Y junction above or below ground, personally I prefer to join them all above ground to minimize the amount of visible 100mm waste pipes (The vent pipe which can be distinguished by a mushroom cap on top should not be used for anything going "in") & Don't forget to install a screw top rodding point above ground level for each pipe & at any major junction point or every 20 metres it costs a few euros and could save you a lot more in the long run! soil pipes on the outside is a decision from the marie's officeBon Chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG MAC Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Is that a picture of a stuka exhaust manifold?I would run branches to an internal 100mm soil pipe with Durgo air admittancevalve at least 1500 above spill over level of highest appliance on system.At the bottom I would put a slow bend through the wall (Lintel over) then into a rocker pipe than a roddable chamber to copewith any change of direction prior to running to Fosse or mains drains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I am doing this exact job as a fallback whilst dodging the rainstorms outside.What's a rocker pipe Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
