Joining waste pipes

Nov 13, 2005 2 Replies

Is it Ok to join the waste pipes from bath and separate shower together befoire they join the soil pipe, if so do I need a non return valve at all? What are the problems?



To get both into the soil pipe separately I will have to put in a 180 deg bend because of all the other fittings.

Yes, that's fine. Assuming you have adequate fall on both waste pipes, there's no need for non-return valves or anythig like that.

Second that...

Also try and get a "swept" Tee for the extra connection to the pipe in the middle - along with a slight fall on the pipe run that ought to ensure there is no danger of your bath water popping up in the shower!
