Ordering parts for tomorrows job. got a couple of questions, help appreciated

[armyash]

Hi guys i'm doing a job tomorrow for a guy who is having his done up before he moves in.

The job is run pipes under floor in ensuite for shower, basin, toilet and towel rail.

All in plastic/push fit.

The floor is mostly up for what i need to do and the walls just have plaster board on so I can cut out what I need as he wants all pipes in the walls. (basically I can hack out what i need to make my job easier as someone is going in after me to decorate and tile).

The customer will be putting basin/shower/toilet/towel rail himself so he just wants the pipe in position to make the connections when he is ready.

I have almost got my list of fittings etc together but the one thing i'm not sure of is running the wastes for the shower and basin. I know how i'm going to route them and the 110mm pipe is already in the floor that I can add on to for the toilet. To connect on for the shower and basin i was going to use strap on bosses/adaptors and add them to the 110 that the toilet will be connected to. Is that allowed?

My plan for tomorrow is as follows

1. mark out section of walls to cut, mark joists for notching/drilling
2. cut out where i have marked
2. run pipe to roughly where they will go.
3. turn off water and drain, cut in to hot and colds
4. start connecting up pipe work and clip
5. cap off and check for leaks
5. run the wastes and make relevant connections
6. baton and replace plaster board cut outs
7. tidy up and leave

Sounds simple enough to me, starting at 8.30 reckon could be gone by 3ish if i crack on.

Sorry for the long post, just connecting the wastes was the reason for posting 😀

if your altering the 110mm then try and use a short boss pipe. Strap ons are a pain in the 🙂.

if you have to use the strap on boss, you will need a 57mm hole saw, and use some cleaner before you glue the suka on.

also if poss lagg the pipework.

bring the basin waste up inside the ped.

clip it all well.

you will need to buy the boss adaptors for the size you want to connect. i prefer to buy glued boss adaptors under floors to ensure they do get knocked out by other trades.

Found it! thanks will get the strap on ones too just in case

 

[armyash]

sorry, all i can find is the rubber adaptors, do you know where i can get the glueable ones please?

probably from a propa plumbers merchant tbh, not really seen them in the sheds. Most merchants that sell polypipe soil should stock them from my experience. If you cant get them then just get your waste pipework secured well to stop any movement.

All ordered now, screwfix 5 minute drive from where i'm working so any problems I can get there. Long days everyday at the minute. better than sitting watching jezza k though!

i would never use a strap on under floors their life isnt near the life of a proper joint
in theory every thing should go out seperately into the vertical stack worse way if your going into 4 inch below floors try and stab in the top or as near to the top as possible

I would turn off the water and drain first, after making sure customer fills kettle first :biggrin5:

Job completed successfully. Had to leave water on as long as possible as it was needed by others. (also kept me in regular supply of tea 😀) ran all the pipe work before making the final connections.

Was a very very long day and makes me realise how slow i actually still am but all done properly and customer was happy. Thats the main thing. I got more experience and a bit more confidence.

Looks more professional to take the whole sheet of plasterboard off then replace after rather than cut outs in new work. Just my opinion.

Hope all goes well, you sound well prepared which is a massive help.

You should've taken some pice for austerity.
