Can i use a 45 degree bend in the middle of a soil pipe run. I have to install a new inspection chamber, cannot get it square on to the existing chamber due to falls etc so would need a 45 about 2 meters from each chamber.

Is this acceptable to building regulations and is it sensible. I know you cant have a 90 as it stops a rod, but assume 45 is ok.

Thanks for any insight.
 
Officially if you have any change in direction or level you should have the ability to rod/inspect from there. Try and get your 45 degs next to your ICs, I don't think BC will allow 45 degs mid run.

DIYers have their own language, which only a DIYer can understand. You must of been down the merch when someone was trying to explain what they needed and all the tradesmen were totally baffled, but another DIYer says ' I know what you mean mate, it's one of them twisted metal things you use when doing a wall with those cement thingys' and the other guy says 'that's it, don't know why these lot can't understand us.

Not quite, in the middle of a run between inspection chambers. As in inspection chamber > 2m straight > 45 degree bend > 2m straight > inspection chamber.

I think tomfe has the correct answer.

That's a pipe with several 45° connections mid run and no manholes required, rodable and Part H compliant.

Unless I'm too drunk or not drunk enough, that's the situation you are taking about.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread. But I’m considering adding a downstairs toilet where it’s not practical to connect to the existing soil pipe. The pipe run is the same as in your photo with the new drop into a rest bend mid run.

The issue is the pipe runs slight to close to the wall to have the rest bend connect to a 45 Y. Would it be acceptable to use a 45 Y then a single socket 45 to allow the rest bend to be placed parallel to the main pipe run? Or if not a 30, to increase the space available?

Cheers
