Sizing of waste pipe for washbasin
The Management has finally decided on the new layout for the bathroom; all I
have to do now is fit it! Her plan results in the washbasin being sited approximately 4 metres from the soil pipe (single ventilated stack arrangement). According to what I have read t would seem that I need to use 50mm diameter waste pipe for this run in order to prevent loss of the seal in the trap through siphonage. I don't have a problem with using this size of waste pipe if necessary but it does seem a bit large. Do I need to use it or is there any way (perhaps by use of an anti-syphon trap) in which I can reduce the size needed? Grateful for any advice Tony (more Spud than Bob the Builder) |

(Their flexible waste pipe also works very well.) -- Rod |
