One for the plumbers

After studying the Osma product guide and the architects bathroom layout I am uncertain how best to go about connecting the various wastes.



Chalet bungalow dormer rooms tend to be T shaped with the window at the foot of the T. I suppose the bath would fit under the window but my preferred layout is to have wash basin, bidet, toilet there and the bath tucked into a T top corner. Fortunately the floor joists are 225mm deep and run in a convenient direction so I have space to get the falls needed.



This layout brings the issue of connecting the bath waste upstream of the toilet. Good for keeping the soil pipe clean but there doesn't seem to be anything available to connect readily to the end of the pipe. Lots of choice for branches with connecting bosses but they are always where the toilet waste would enter which I think breaches the guidance.



Any thoughts?


Are Strap Bosses, the thing you are looking for?

a bit personal isn't it?

Can you arrange it so you can use of the multi-inlet soil manifolds, where the toilet feeds into a branch feeding into the manifold (and presumably a soil stack (or stub for an AAV) leaving from the top of the branch?

The internal channels are arranged so they don't count as opposing inlets that normally have to be avoided.

I saw those. Presumably intended for vertical mounting. The down pipe will run through the soffit but there might be space. Access for future maintenance will be a pig whatever I do. With the bath tucked into the alcove, I'll need a hatch through the wall to get at the tap connections.....hmm..

Yes, generally the manifold would go in a corner and you aim all the soil and waste pipes toward it, might not work in all situations

OK. Thanks for that. Might also help with the ground floor wet room issues.
