Hi, a developer I'm working for has had some contractors install some drainage. I've told him I'm not happy with it but I don't know enough about it to advise him 100%. There are 2
flats, one first floor 1 ground. They have bought the kitchen waste from the 1st floor down in 40mm which the downstairs kitchen sink connects into and then it goes to a 4 inch stub stack. I have told him in my opinion that all the pipe needs to be 4 inch with the sinks being bossed in from 40mm on there respective floors. I want to get him to change it and have told him i wouldn't be happy to just pretend I haven't seen it so my question is as there is no WC running into it can I advise him to upgrade the pipe to 2" or 3" as he doesn't want to lose the space 4" would take up. Cheers
 
At least 2 inch with an AAV would be my advice if no WC connected. All depends on horizontal runs really. If it's mostly vertical, should be no problem

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
