    Solvent weld alignment difficulties!

    I need to attach to existing pipe in the floor and then come up behind bathroom units, which only afford 50mm of clearance. The attached picture is my first attempt, which is not permanent as the connection in the floor has been done using compression. I spent ages lining everything up and...

    Bathroom Waste Design

    Planning a new bathroom, can anyone see any issues with this waste water design? I plan on using 50mm solvent weld pipe and can achieve the correct fall from each appliance to the soil pipe. I already purchased the basin that came with a waste trap, I am not sure if it is anti-vac or not so...
