The short version of the question... what will be the effect of introducing a short section of 32mm pipe into a 40mm waste pipe run from a sink? The narrowed length of pipe will only be about 15% the total length of run but will also constitute an elb0w.
The slightly longer version of the...

Is a 110mm pipe the minimum for a branch pipe to remove bathroom waste, or could a smaller pipe be used?

Hi,
Im moving the washing machine into the garage so need to connect the drainage hose to the waste pipe. Can i drill a hole and fit a standard connector to the caste iron pipe or will i need to replace the waste pipe with a plastic one?
Evening all,

Hi all,
My customer has had a legionella assessment done, as part of renting out her house.
She has a fairly new, open-vented CWST in the attic. The hot water vent pipe discharges over the CWST, as is standard practise. However, the assessor says this is a legionella risk, and has recommended...
Okay so I'm pretty good with DIY and have a good set of tools. Recently found water coming from under the bath every time I had one, left it too long and just decided to take the panel off to find the whole floor soaking and the bath waste pipe dripping. I don't have much knowledge but am I...

Last year the 2 inch copper pipe had a split in it so I cut it off and replaced it with plastic and joined it back to the 2 inch copper with a universal compression fitting.
The last part of the pipe has now split so my options are:
Cut the elbow off and extend the plastic to there - but I'll...

I am replacing the soil pipe and external bathroom waste pipework, but cannot find any fittings on connecting the "white plastic" pipes that come from the bathroom suite to the "black plastic" external fittings that match the black soil pipe.
As you will have guessed I'm very much an amateur...
Hi everyone,
I'm currently installing a new bathroom and using Saniflo to pump all the waste to the soil stack. However, the waste pipe has a vertical lift of about 40cm at the very end where it joins on to the soil stack. I've read everywhere that the vertical lift should always precede the...
Hi guys,

My issue is the waste pipe location of a property I'm moving to. The pipe runs through the wall but about 5cms below the worktop and the same height as my washing machine and dish washer.
