I need to install a w.c. and macerator in my mums living room, will hopefully be temporary, maybe a couple of months.
Looking to fit a ''Stuart Turner Wasteflo WC1'' simply because it's cheaper than the competition at £200 and I trust Stuart Turner pumps.
Any reason I shouldn't?
Also looking to route a 32mm pipe from it to the stack outside, no verticals, just about 10m horizontal. I always pass on any macerator jobs so have never so much as touched one before, does the above sound good?
If I do have to go vertical at any point, do I need to follow standard waste practice or can I pipe it however's easiest?
Cheers.
 
If it will be short term and you are sure mum will understand the 3 P`s rule then the ST wasteflo will be fine however looking ahead if you popped the lid off and washed it out then the sani will sell for more money and be easier to sell on at the end.
You could run the discharge pipe in 32 or 22mm pipe with swept elbows and a minimum fall on the pipe of 10mm per meter securely clipped to prevent any dips forming in the pipe. If going vertical then do it close to pump to create a water slide. Regarding the power supply you are meant to have an unswitched fuse spur in the UK however other countries are allowed a switched spur which is easier for elderly people so you decide what you want to do as far as I`m concerned. 😉
