Discuss Move waste pipe for free standing bath in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net

Hi All,
Hope to get some advice.
Fitting new bathroom with free standing bath so need to move feed and waste. I’ve a problem with the soil pipe as it’s current location from the top will be too high when putting back floor. Ideally I need to come off the bend so as to give myself more height. Does such a fitting exist?
Thanks,
Alex.

Hard to tell from photo, but are you not able to use a 90 degree bend or spigot bend off the up stand of pipe? I doubt you would get a fitting if one exists onto that soil bend as access is tight.

Hi,
thanks for suggestions and ideas.
Riley: yes need waste pipe to go under the floor.
CBW1982: can't take anything from the top as there isn't enough height / gap. Can't get access to the down pipe. See additional photo.
Steve: yes I was hoping I could get something off the elbow as it's lower and accessible- is this designed for use on an elbow or general pipe fixing?

There’s always another option.

What’s below? Might be better to run between joists to edge of room and drop down through ceiling and take it from there..
If it’s utility, no problem.
Kitchen, bring out above wall cupboards won’t be seen etc etc

Good idea but unfortunately I can't as bathroom is in middle of the house. Directly below is the middle of the kitchen so no cupboards close by. The only way I can add a connection with enough space below the floor is on the elbow bend. Anywhere else is too close to joist or floor. I've considered bringing the waste pipe up and boxing in around the edge but this would probably end in divorce...
