Hi all, at the moment we have a shower/wet room. We want to install a bath but I'm having a problem as to where the waste from the bath can go, as by doing a bit of research the shower waste will not be able to take the bath wath water away quickly enough.
Landlord will not permit us to drill through the outside wall so my question is- can I connect the waste from the bath into the waste from the toilet (see photo) or can this cause problems I am maybe unaware of.
There is approx 100mm from floor to where the bend meets the downpipe to enable me to use a boss to connect bath waste pipe.
cheers Graham

Yes you can boss it into that vertical brown pipe.

1) You must use a 76mm water seal trap on the bath, not a shallow trap - even though that would be easier.

2) you may find that the brown pipe won’t solvent weld very well. So I would a) get a strap boss that has a nut/bolt connection, b) connect flange of boss to the pipe with CT1 instead of solvent weld.

3) make sure you don’t insert pipe from bath waste too far- if it goes inside the 4” pipe it will catch paper etc from the lavatory, which will give you grief.
