Plumbing Help Upstairs toliet

Hi I have an upstairs toliet fitted and would like to fit a sink. The main bathroom is downstairs. My problem is I have nowhere for the waste water to go. Can I link the waste water pipe into the toliet waste pipe or is there another way of doing it.

  • Providng you have access to the soil pipe proper (not the pan connector) then simply use a strap on boss, reduce as necessary and pipe as normal to the sink. Please bear in mind to put the hole at the top of soil pipe and go off using an elbow, also make sure the hole you drill is really smooth on the inside of the soil pipe, paper and "stuff "will catch on anything and cause you grief for ages if not!!!!
    The quicker you fall behind, the longer you have to catch up...

    If the plastic pan conector is bent then simply swop it for this one

    On the internet you can be anything you want.It`s strange so many people choose to be rude and stupid.
  • If not already fitted on the sink make sure you have a trap fitted as not a pleasant smell will come back through your sink !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
