Hi guys i'm doing a job tomorrow for a guy who is having his done up before he moves in.
The job is run pipes under floor in ensuite for shower, basin, toilet and towel rail.
All in plastic/push fit.
The floor is mostly up for what i need to do and the walls just have plaster board on so I can cut out what I need as he wants all pipes in the walls. (basically I can hack out what i need to make my job easier as someone is going in after me to decorate and tile).
The customer will be putting basin/shower/toilet/towel rail himself so he just wants the pipe in position to make the connections when he is ready.
I have almost got my list of fittings etc together but the one thing i'm not sure of is running the wastes for the shower and basin. I know how i'm going to route them and the 110mm pipe is already in the floor that I can add on to for the toilet. To connect on for the shower and basin i was going to use strap on bosses/adaptors and add them to the 110 that the toilet will be connected to. Is that allowed?
My plan for tomorrow is as follows
1. mark out section of walls to cut, mark joists for notching/drilling
2. cut out where i have marked
2. run pipe to roughly where they will go.
3. turn off water and drain, cut in to hot and colds
4. start connecting up pipe work and clip
5. cap off and check for leaks
5. run the wastes and make relevant connections
6. baton and replace plaster board cut outs
7. tidy up and leave
Sounds simple enough to me, starting at 8.30 reckon could be gone by 3ish if i crack on.
Sorry for the long post, just connecting the wastes was the reason for posting
