Wall Hung WC Under Window

Posts: 59 Forumite
Hi,
I am looking to fit a wall hung WC under the dorma window in my upstairs bathroom.
I have removed the plasterboard and revealed the 2 x 4 studs into which I can fit a Geberit frame. Only problem I have is the waste. I have one stud getting in the way of me connecting to the old run of the soil pipe.
What I was thinking of doing was cutting a hole in the ply behind the studs directly behind the WC, which will take the pipe into the roof recess and then returning it back in beyond the joist that is in the way and have a straight connection from there to the existing soil pipe which is also a 90 deg bend by the way.
Do you think it will be OK to do that? I will have only one more bend than my previous installation but my soil pipe length will be shorter.
I will have a fall of around 1 in 10 behind the ply.
Many thanks in advance,
Kuly
