Moving Earthenware Waste in Concrete

All makes sense. Thanks.

By looking at you latest pic, you may want a 30 degree bend to flatten out the drain.

You mean connected to the rubber coupling, where you originally said a 15?

 

[oz-plumber]

Yes - whatever flattens the drain out enough to have a vertical rise for the pan connector.

You may be able to tweak the rubber connector a few degrees to get the correct fall, you may need 1 or 2 5 degree bend.

All I know is that if the pan connector doesn't seal because of misaligned pipe work, you will be in more trouble than you could care, because ripping it all out will mean re-doing everything from the beginning.

I'm done!

Sorry, it isn't a debate, its set in drying concrete as we speak so if I did anything wrong let me live in blissful ignorance! Only kidding, sort of.

Finally got it level on all 3 axis, ended up using a 30 and 45 degree elbows connected together and taking out more concrete below the run of the pipe to bring the whole thing down. Actually went in quite easily once I bought the 30 degree socket, shame I didn't do that earlier but that's just down to lack of experience.

Did building control give it the nod 🙂

Good work.

Good work. Just make sure you don't drop anything down it before you put the loo in[emoji39]. Put a cap on it to stop rats coming into the house.

Thanks to everyone that answered my questions on this one, couldn't have done it without the advice I got here.
