Hi
We've had our bath relocated, which means that we have a longer run of pipe where the outlet comes out of the wall, making its way about six feet, and an angle of 45degrees, to discharge into the hopper at the top of the drainpipe.
All tested ok when fitted by the plumber, but when he tested it was only a case of running the taps in the bath, and on that basis it's fine. Problem is, when a bath full of water discharges, the force of water coming out of the waste pipe splatters at great force against the inside of the hopper, spraying water everywhere.
Just wondering why this is happening - is the 45degree angle such that the water shoots at much faster than if the pipe was at a shallower angle? Or should the pipe have a right angle turn in it at the end so that the water exits vertically?
