Bog boxing in - sounding out some ideas before I buy stuff

Tim Watts · 2010-06-01T17:38:58+00:00

SWMBO wants a bog. Well, one that's not in the hall anyway. They are *so* unreasonable, these women! ;->Anyway, here's the new one, dry fitted (and kids instructed NOT to test!):'d like to box in that rear pipe - and the main stack. The rear boxing is fairly standard - rectangular, about a foot high - or 2' high if I take the flush pipe from the high level cistern through it, tiled on the front with a solid wood lid that can be lifted for checking... I'll try to make the front panel in 2 parts around the soil pipe, screwed on with grout over the screws so it *could* be removed non destructively if the worst happens...Now, that white pipe sticking out the top of the stack sports a 50mm AAV and has to be > 3' high or so to be above the flood line of the basin, which comes in on that other white pipe down below.So, I'm thinking of a vertical column, with a door, all tiled including the door itself - bit like this from the top:=========== Rear Wall ========| || Stack || /| /

You will want a couple of noggings across obviously - I would not support the full width at just the edges with 12mm.

Just a small point. I've used body filler a couple of times to prop up wonky WCs on tiles. Rock solid, even in the smallest of gaps (which I assume yours are). Pack out at a couple of points round the base, put the filler in between, then do the bits where the packing was. Trim with a Stanley blade while still in its "cheese" state. Too much movement in silicone for my liking. I've recently discovered plastic plant labels as packing pieces. 1mm thick and a nice convenient size for snapping off. Better than the wooden stirrers from Mc Donalds that TMH suggested :-)
