    Hi An idiot Bathroom fitter has cut down a soil pipe and fitted an AAV valve, then placed a built in bathroom cabinet with the soil pipe in the corner unit making the only easy way to access anywhere near the soil pipe by reaching up from where the kicker board goes.

    Hi I’m trying to find something that will connect a geberit 90mm toilet waste pipe into a standard 110mm soil stack. The geberit cistern came with an adaptor that increased the outside diameter of the pipe to 110mm. However this is the same diameter as the soil stack pipe. Is anyone aware of...

    Soil Vent Connection

    I have to connect the UPVC pipe to the ground. There's a connection of sorts there already. The rubber gasket there has perished but I don't seem to easily find a replacement. Even if I did, the old UPVC pipe I have doesn't fit tightly in there and presumably never did. My question is, does...

From the internet I don't seem to find a clear answer about this. Could you please clarify this for me? Do...

    Hi, When running 50mm waste to the stack, how do I get it so the 50mm does not have to be so far from the wall? As the offset at the stack dictated by the boss on the soil pipe. Hopefully this makes sense! Please see my picture which hopefully helps. I bought a 135 deg bend thinking I could...

    soil pipe connection

    Hi all, is there a way to connect a new toilet into an existing horizontal run? The problem is, due to the levels it can only connect horizontally and not from the top of the pipe. Is it ok to use a standard branch connector in this way?

    Planning drainage for a new bathroom. Assuming that all the falls/gradients are correct is there anything wrong with this plan?

    Fitting an AAV to this bit of external soil

    Hi all, Custard has this open topped bit of soil which obviously stinks. She has bought two, for some reason, AAV's and tried sticking them in the end but still stinks. I've zero experience with soil and vent but I'm guessing the soil needs the socket cut off and these get solvent welded inside...

    Can I use 90 degree bends in dry soil vent?

    TL/DR: Can I have a bend of 90 degrees in the dry section of a 4-inch soil vent? Hi. I am renovating a small bathroom. There is an awkward part of the wall where the builders boxed off a large section just to conceal the 4-inch soil vent. I realise, of course, that the soil vent is essential to...
