Shower waste fall advice

[Oscart]

Help guys, on with the waste first fix and going to sol weld everything, clean up existing etc and go from there. The lhs boss I am going to use for a bath but I need two showers to go into the one facing us. Can I do this? Do I need to add any anti siphon bits in? Also shower 1 is only a 80cm run away so scared my fall will be too steep… any advice welcome

I would use 2” upto the first tee off eg for both showers

And at the end I would run a 11/4 to somewhere accessible and Install an aav just incase

As for the fall as it’s just water you will be fine but you can always use a 45 etc to lessen the fall

I would use those two for the two showers and add another boss above the floor for the bath, unless the bath waste needs to be below the floor- eg freestanding.

Thanks Shaun

The two showers will come 1 from left and 1 from the right, so I’ll do a butt of 2” out the stack then can I get a double swept tee? To take it right and left from there

Yes the bath requires under floor waste as freestanding

Thanks Shaun. Just the ticket! And just tee off a 11/4 aav on one of the incoming shower wastes?

Or take it off the pass through / straight through connection

I have just calculated and I don’t have enough room between the soil pipe and joist for a 2 inch fitting, I have resorted to a 1 1/2 swept tee with the two showers coming into it. Where the two showers converge it’s right next to the stack… will this be ok?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

You can’t use a tee like that as the swept is wrong have to use two separate tees

Sorry Shaun, I was going to use the swept tee to come from one side then in the end of the tee come in through the joist with a male - female 90 deg connector to come from the other direction if you get me?

That’s fine in that way was imagining using either side for drainage then out to the stack via the swept 😀

Ah nooo I know what you mean though I was just concerned the two showers where going into the 1 1/2 tee not the 2” we discussed previously… also I am just installing 1 aav as close to the stack as possible for the two showers?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

It’s one of them if you can’t install 2” 11/2 will have to do

As for aav needs to be on the end of the run eg after last shower or tee etc

Hmm yeah I might be worrying about nothing? I do have the other boss which is for a bath I could use a swept 2” tee on that at the stack and take 1 bath and 1 shower into that? Leaving the lower boss for 1 shower only

Ok so the aav as close to the stack as possible then?
