At what intervals
should a 110mm pipe be supported?
Hunter brackets in galvanised steel
or plastic are to be spaced at 1.8m vertically and 0.9m horizontally
as specified in table 10 of BS5572:1994. Socket brackets are
to be used as fixed points around expansion sockets, controlling
thermal movement. Pipe brackets which allow for thermal movement,
are to be used for lateral support.
How can I connect
the ground floor sanitary appliances into the drain without
using internal or external drain gullies?
A group of ground floor appliances
may be connected to the drainage system via a stub stack. A
stub stack consists of a short length of 110mm-diameter pipe
capped off with an access fitting (S667). Where one or more
stub stacks are connected to a drainage system, ventilation
must be provided via a soil and vent pipe at the head of the
drain. The limiting factors are that the distance from the centre
of the pan branch to the drain invert must not exceed 1.5 metres,
whilst the highest connection should be within 2.5 metres.
