G3 Building Regs

[PlumbBobBob]

probably to make them feel important. also if the discharge pipe is at floor level it needs mechanical protection i.e cage around it

Thanks for all responses, even the sarcastic one at the start..!! Just trying to get different opinions from a consultants badly specified drawing.

Within 100mm of finished floor, not too sure about returning to wall, internally it can go to waste through hepvo but we were told to ok it first with building control. Didn't really understand that bit though because if it's in the regs to do that why do you need to check with building control?

i think its because you have to show its not practical to do it any other way same with turned back into wall i think you can only do this as a last resort

is the consultant qualified to correctly specify unvented controls and safety devices

is the consultant qualified to correctly specify unvented controls and safety devices

he doesnt need to be, as there will be a tiny disclaimer on the design somewhere saying "dimensions and spec must be confirmed as adequate and complies with current legislation, by a competant person"

Wasn't trying to be sarcastic just thought you might have been a student looking form easy answers - my bad!

My understanding is the discharge point can be at high or low level but offer no danger to anyone.
It can be fed into the soil but only with local authority approval.
If possible has to be visible at tundish and termination point.
Pipework has to be sized to carry full bore release away without backing up

Thanks. Aware of all that. Just that I have an install where consult says to go onto existing discharge point but it's not correct. Can't get correct drop and discharge doesn't terminate to safe place, therefore just thinking about what date regs came in as original instal wrong.

 

[BLOD]

If its a new install surely it has to comply with current regs ?
