Exam question

[solid357]

Hey guys i have turned to this forum to see if anyone would have any ideas as to what exactly i should write for this question:


The soil and vent pipe serving the main bathroom rises in the corner by the shower tray and the architect has specified that a primary ventilated stack system (single stack) is to be installed with all waste pipework in skirting boxings above floor level in the bathroom. What issues should you raise prior to the installation taking place if the joists in the property are running side to side (width ways to the property)?

Then as a sub question it asks:

Identify a possible solution to the main bathroom waste pipework problems identified??


I would fully appreciate if anyone has a idea as i can't seem to think of why it would be a problem if the waste pipework is above floor level anyway!!?

Try to visualise the trap on the shower if the tray was sitting flat on the floor.

You need to refer to the drawings provided. I seem to remember the issue on this question is about distances and required falls for all wastes entering the stack

listen during the lectures, all the information has been given to you already, if your not sure have a read of your text books and notes, sorry to seem unhelpful but I sometimes feel that some folks think they dont have to work and listen to pass exams but just hit the net.

the tiles are the wrong colour.

Something to do with the lengths of the run and size of the waste pipe

Will do know harm to mention the shower trap but the core of the question is about lengths of waste runs and required falls and the regs that these must conform to.
If you look at the diagram you will see that that some of the distances exceed limits.

try staying awake in your lectures and you wouldnt have to get other people to do your exam for you after all its supposed to be your own work not mine, if you cant do it on your own now with all the books available how will you cope in the real world. Time to grow up

People here were deliberately being vague with their answers in the hope it would encourage you to think for yourself. My two-pence worth was simply about raising the shower tray.

So, what was the full, official answer?
