Hello again,
I have uncovered the other end of the drain that connects to the T junction i was talking about in my previous post. I have posted the pictures at .... drain photos
The first photo shows the WC joining onto a branch. The outlet goes roughly right to left. The other branch goes to a drain gully with a U bend trap. All in glazed clay.
Another pipe on top of the WC line connects into the gully. This carries rain water from the gutters and the kitchen/bathroom sink waste.
The first problem is the WC junction is cracked, it is joined to cast iron. I need to put a plastic joint in here. I am proposing to cut the cast iron below the t joint and put a plastic soil adaptor with a rodding point.
I need to extend the main drain line to the wall and fit a rodding point so that i can get a straight rod into the covered T junction i talked about before.
I need to remove the existing gulley and put a new plastic one in. I am proposing to put this away from the wall because i'm not sure there will be enough clearance. I will do this using a 87.5 tee on the main line.
I need to connect the waste outlet to this gulley. I was going to reduce the clay and connect into the gully. (a marley ug40x).
Once the extension is complete it will no longer serve the gutters and a new gutter line will be connected to the gully. It will only serve kitchen and bathroom waste.
I have made a diagram to show this.
Can you experts please comment on this and if there is a better way. I don't want to create a load more work for myself !!
