Shower waste location

[rbel]

Advice please. When facing the shower, which corner should the waste be in, or is just a matter of which is most convenient to run the waste pipe from?

The tray will have a fall on it to the waste so wherever its easiest to run the waste pipe.

Might be worth while thinking about access to the trap at a later date, should there be a leakage issue.Went to a custard today whose shower trap had leaked under the floor into the next room, not pretty. Waste was at back of shower with tray plumbed on to wooden plinth with not a hope of access, whole things got to come out !! She was not amused..

Many thanks for the responses - we will locate the waste at the front corner nearest the outside wall.

technically, the trap far away from shower exit as possible to prevent slipping in water when exiting.
pratically, nearest place possible for trap maintenance.

Yes, I like to do mine with the plughole over the shower aswell if we're talking a standard 1200x800 with the door at the other end.

Tray sat on floor and waste straight over joist position, I wouldn't have it any other way.
