View the thread, titled "bathroom soil and waste pipe uncertainty" which is posted in Boiler Advice Forum on UK Plumbers Forums.

I'm creating a wet room out of a bathroom. I lifted the floors to find the soil pipe run as in the attached diagrams. Two questions (assuming I can get the required fall)

1) Is this soil pipe arrangement (in yellow) look okay to you? It looks unnecessarily convoluted to me. I think there was previously a toilet where the the end cap is.

2) Do the waste pipe runs (in red) that I intend to put in look okay? They will join the soil pipe with strap on bosses.

I think the soil pipe arrangement is asking for trouble but its been like that for years I presume without probem. I have taken the dead leg off as a start and will put an end cap in there. Doing much more will be tricky as you can see from the limited access shown in the photos.
Any thoughts?

agree the soil doesnt look the best route but if its working 😀

i would use a 2" pipe and combine the both eg basin and shower waste and use an anti vac trap on the basin would simplify your runs eg 11/2 straight from the shower to the basin run etc

Thanks. Leaving it would be the preferred option if its not too crazy.
I like the idea of combining the wastes but i went to a lot of trouble replacing the joists and I'd be gutted to notch or drill holes in them.
