My plans require an inspection chamber at the junction of 2 soil
pipes. The pipes will need to meet at around 10 degrees it both are
straight. Since the chamber is required at bends, you may surmise that
they have to be straight. So how do you join them at 10 degrees ? You
can't bend at the inlet, since a bend is not allowed. Since the
chamber bases seem to have 45 degree and 90 degree inlets, how should
these connections be made ?
TIA,
Simon.

Bends are allowed. 45 degree or less are better for rodding purposes,
but long 90 degree bends are OK. One 45 degree would work in this
case.

By my calculation, you only need a 35 degree bend (there's already a
10 degree difference between the pipes). Depending on how fixed the
routes of the soil pipes are, the OP might be able to introduce a ~20
degree curve into both pipes so that they join at 45 degrees.

Thanks for the advice - I guess I'll just chat about it with the BCO
and
see what he lets me have.
