Hi all,
Would welcome your thoughts on this.
I'm installing a low level shower tray, over a timber floor. Cast iron soil stack only about a metre away. So far so good. The problem is that the existing 1 1/2 copper connection into the stack (previously serving bath) enters the stack at a low level and comes up out of the floor at a steep angle, somewhere between 45° and vertical. I haven't been able to find a way to connect to this without introducing a brief uphill section (compression elbow) just before the drop. I realise that this will result in a large portion of the waste run from the shower being filled with water, permanently. Other than raising the shower off the floor, I can't find a way to avoid this. Customer has paid a lot of money for a super thin tray ao hoping it won't come to this. But I suppose it's preferable to having big issues down the line. Any help appreciated, pictures attached.
I didn't mention that the elbow making the connection into the stack is boxed in tight on both sides, by kitchen boxing below. So I can't swivel it without giving myself problems in their brand new kitchen !
Kind regards,
Chris
