Kitchen Island Drains and water supplies;!..

It has come to pass that we're planning a new kitchen extension but SWMBO has a big idea of an "Island" in the middle with a sink section etc thereon.

Now the floor is a screed/concrete one around 150 mm deep etc and this island is to be in the middle of the room.

There is also a 100 mm OSMA drain pipe thats going to be in the way and thats intended to be cut of and dismantled and is some 3 metres away from where this proposed "Island" is intended to go.

Now the drainpipe is in an open space ( a wall is to be removed which it stands next to) and the idea was to cut that off cap it and bury it as it won't be needed as such.

However it is quite close to the Island gubbins so it seems that it could well drain that.

How can this be done?. It's I suppose OK to dig a channel in the floor and line that with screwed down boards to make a flat floor surface in the manner which heating pipes can sometimes go under the floor, but the drain say a 1.5 inch plastic pipe what way could you join this to the

100 mm drain thats now redundant and put that under the floor?.

The water pipes, its proposed to take them the other direction where they can easily connect to the existing so now a problem is the drainpipe.

Is this dome with a sort of small sealed manhole but its planned to have some sort of wooden flooring which will go over that which will make access very difficult.

So anyone done this before and if so how did they do it?.

TIA:)...

I dont see a reason to line it with boards.

I can't entirely follow your description of the layout, but I've used these and found them to be very good:

think you're describing a redundant foul drain, rather than surface water drainage - guessing by the 100m diameter.

In which case that should be fairly deep, and have a rest bend, so there's probably room for new fittings above.

Whatever you do - make good rodding access - you'll curse yourself a thousand times over if you don't.

I can't answer your questions but just wanted to remark that when I saw the subject title I thought it was a pretty good name for a specialist showroom.

Along the lines of Fireplace World and Guitar Village, if you get my drift.

Dig a channel and bury a length of 3" drain pipe in it, with an appropriate fall. Leave an access hole at the island end. Then run your real drain pipe (40mm or whatever) through the 3" pipe, and join it to your existing 100 (110?)mm pipe with a boss fitting.

That's what we did with a washing machine drain which needed to be on the 'wrong' side of our utility room. Worked perfectly for 20 years until we ripped it all out for the next re-hash.

Well thanks to all who replied. It seems there is a channel section that you can place under the floor for this and a simple connector device to connect to the drain but it seems she might be changing her mind on this a bit now!..

Heres hoping;!....
