soil pipe connection

[XT60033]

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?

I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking, but it’s fine to connect to an existing horizontal run.

I think normally you would connect a wc into the top of a horizontal run, but I'm asking if it's ok to connect in from the side?

Yes, I’ve seen it done this way before, so should be ok. Wouldn’t recommend an underground fitting for above ground though.

Are the underground fittings exactly the same angles as the above ground ones? Any idea why the some are labeled 87.5 degrees while others are 92.5 degrees for example?

Yes, iirc, angles will be the same or similar. The quoted angles are just that, the angles.

So why is the same angle quoted as 87.5 degrees and 92.5 degrees, it can't be both surely?

Could be internal and external angle.
