Hi Everyone

I have just removed a floor to find out where a WC waste pipe goes. As you will see from the picture, it branches off a long way and is then capped off. I cannot see that it needs this long extension on the right hand side, running along the wall. I presume I could cut it back to nearer the swept bendnear the down pipe. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Paul

Where do your smaller wastes go ?
 
Your fine then can remove the length and add an access cap in the now open end

Hi I recently did some pipe insulating in my loft. The only two I didn't do were the vent pipes. Not sure if that is the right term for them? They are the pipes that feed water back into the top of the tanks when there is excess, presumably from steam, expansion, etc. The one going to the cold...
