Afternoon all, and thanks in advance for your help. About 2 years ago, the immersion heater in our hot water cylinder broke so we had it replaced. Now I can't remember 100% but I'm sure that before the change, when we put the immersion on it didn't make much noise. Since the change, as soon...

Simple questions, I hope: When planning the run of the waste pipe from a new shower, do I calculate the fall from the shower tray surface or from the shower trap outlet? I'm working on a required fall with 40mm pipe of 18mm per 1m and I have a 2m straight span to cross. Is this correct?
