Hello,
I know this question has been addressed a few years ago, but wanted to
check on the current regulations.

I have a downstairs toilet whose waste goes directly into a soil pipe
running down into the concrete floor. I would like to replace the
toilet and add a basin, but there is no easy plumbing route for the
basin waste.

Is it still acceptable to route the basin waste directly into the
toilet waste pipe, and if so where can I get such connectors (and what
are they called?!?)

Also, is it desirable to do this, or is it the kind of thing that gets
surveyors twitchy when I eventually come to sell the house?

Thanks,
Richard

This is not really a serious answer to your problem but the plumbers might
find it interesting.

Last year I visited Tyntesfield, the Victorian pile south of Bristol that
the National Trust bought for £24,000,000 and are now asking for squillions
more to refurbish.

In the only toilet that I found, the drain from the hand wash basin was led
around the wall and into the 'throne' between the wooden seat and the
flushing rim!

I wonder whether this will be preserved.
