Shower Waste Into Soil Pipe
Just make sure the basin waste is not tee'd too close to shower waste. Ideally if you have access to soil pipe then plumbing 2 separate wastes is the ideal way. For water supply make sure its a mains cold water for feed for shower.
Hot water supply to basin etc is taken from whatever hot water system you have. Waste pipes are responsible for carrying wastewater from fixtures like sinks, toilets, and showers away from your home. Soil pipes, on the other hand, act as the main drainage conduit, vertically transporting wastewater from the waste pipes to the sewer line or septic tank.
Connecting a waste pipe to a soil pipe is a crucial step in ensuring efficient drainage and preventing blockages in your plumbing system. This process involves joining the waste pipe, which carries water and waste from fixtures like sinks and showers, to the soil pipe, which leads to the main sewer or septic tank. The shower is the problem, I will have to raise it, but i can't raise it high enough to get it's own waste to the vertical stack.
So my question is can I make a connection into the horizontal branch? The wall hung basin marked out with its waste either going across room also or through stud wall into the plant room where a washing machine will be and it can join the waste from the washing machine following perimeter of walls back into bathroom and to soil waste pipe. My options are then 2 or 3 connections into the waste pipe. The toilet soil pipe will go directly out, through a 90deg bend horizontally and then into the existing soil stack.
I was wondering if there is any downside to putting the shower and basin waste into the new toilet soil pipe which will have a 2 meter run horizontally along the outside wall before it goes into the existing soil stack. The shower/bath in the family bathroom is due to have its head (shower) above the soil pipe that can be seen in the below photograph. The bath is 1700 (the length of the room) x 750 and its waste is in its centre.
