Hi,

New to the forum - hoping to get some help here.

I am rerouting my toilet to have the pipe work hidden in the eaves.

Bath/shower/basin waste connects to the toilet drain via Barco Bos.

I need help with the air vent.
- Do I need one for toilet, and another for shower/bath/basin waste?
- Do I need one for each bath, basin and shower?

Where is the best location for the air valve (or valves)?

Many thanks for your help.
 
Is the stack vented to outside air or is there another stack on your system that vents?
What is a Barco Bos?
What size is the waste float picking up the bath & shower & how long is the run to the bath?
 
Boxing and run to the right off the toilet
 
Gents, thanks for your replies.

Yes, perhaps not the most logical approach but I'd like to try before giving up. This will make space available that was previously unavailable.

The bos (or boss) connects the 40mm on to the 4 in pipe.

It is not going uphill - there is a drop of about 450mm from toilet outlet to outside stack. Is this sufficient?

The stack can be vented outside, but will it take care of the basin/bath/shower pipe venting?

Adding rodding point to the planning.

I have contemplated 45° bends, but they really complicate things. Pipe going in between joists, etc.

For what it's worth, i'm using wide 90° bends (don't know the actual name). Still bad?
