    Also building control doesn't allow you to go through joists does it??

    It couldn't be done because of Grade2 planning permission.

    And what if a swept T wasn't used? So i think you are saying that a non return valve (one in basin, one in shower) is my best bet. Can the durgo valves be left in?

    Yes that is the size of the pipe. Macerator new, hardly used installed six months ago then had nightmare with cistern leaking (don't you remember my other thread!) that was fixed last week. At the same time shower removed from macerator. Now everything being used and now this problem!

    Small bathroom plumbing with macerator

    Yes it does have a slight fall. Sorry all underground no pic. Posting this query because praying don't need to take up floor and separate pipes out. Sorry i thought you thought it was vertical on side of house. It has a fall through the floor before goes outside. But it's only in total about...

    No it's horizontal running along my bedroom floor just servicing me before goes outside. The waste pipe funnelling all three attaches to the side of it.

    Small bathroom plumbing with macerator

    Thank you where would one way valves be put? Before the Durgo valves. Why is it happening in the stack, why isn't it going up the holes before reaches the soil pipe if holes are there enroute? The sink durgo valve cannot be removed easily now, although shower one can. When you say it is forcing...

    They join separately. The basin just before the macerator outpipe goes underground. And the shower joins underground before goes through the last two joists. I'm 100% certain they are both Durgo valves. But i do not know the size of the pipes but am almost positive they are not 22, so 32 or 40...

    Thanks. he has not got much room to play with when accessing soil pipe ie about 50cm to 1m section, would it make any difference the order of the outgoing pipes or the distance apart? Ie i was thinking if macerator hole further downstream better as no chance of going back up sink, shower holes?

    Small bathroom plumbing with macerator

    I have a small bathroom which originally had a sink, shower and toilet running through a macerator. Because it was so noisy i asked the plumber to remove the sink and shower. He did this by teeing in shower and sink pipes to the outgoing macerator waste pipe underfloor before it entered the soil...

    Macerator noise comparison Saniflo vs Grundflos: Desperate to do the right thing!

    i bought and installed the Grundfos Sololift 2 CWC-3 Wall-Hung Macerator. Same db as yours i think. It's loud. My plumber installed a Saniflo elsewhere, i never heard it, he said quieter but may have been just saying that to wind me up!

    New cistern leaking into pan

    Update. 3 Grohe WC frames installed and removed. 5 flush valves, 2 with putty put around. Couldn't stop leak. Replaced with Geberit. No leak everything working perfectly. Geberit WC frame was 3mm deeper and the stud wall had to be knotched out. The flush plate was wider and not as tall, so new...

    Macerator noise comparison Saniflo vs Grundflos: Desperate to do the right thing!

    Hi i wrote the original post. My plumber installed a Saniflo shortly after and said it was quieter. I wish i had gone for the Saniflo really. It is really noisy to me but really hard to know. No one interested in doing comparison review of macerators! Wonder why!
