T

that bloke.

ive got an old victorian loo pan that i need to install in a downstairs bathroom.
the bathroom was once a wood store on the end of an old cottage.
i dont think i have enough fall to put a waste pipe in and join it up to the existing waste pipes leading to the sewer so i might need a macerator.
easy enough except this loo has the waste pipe coming from the back of the pan then down into the floor. any macerators ive seen sit behind the loo and not down below it.
is there such a thing as a macerator that i can bury below the loo pan under the floor?
 
NO: why not just add an extension to your underground soil pipe to the nearestmanhole, do the job right now and I wont have hand you some other plumbers number to come and unblock your saniflo in years to come.
 
i dont think i have enough fall for a soil pipe , ive got 14 meters to the nearest inspection chamber which is 400 mil deep , the next in line is another 7 or 8 meters and is 1 meter deep.
i started a thread about it here but i think i posted it in the wrong section.

i have heard that these macerators only block if you overload them but then again ive really only heard bad things about them anyway.
 
400mm does sound too good but a fall to 1m might work, call building regs as its them that would have to pass it fit for purpouse as new drains comes under their remit, and falls arent that great, but forget what is required.
