Hi all
Im after some advice please. This is a bit difficult to explain so i have added some pics.
I am adding an ensuite to the house. As part of this i am adding a new soil stack as the original soil stack is at the back of the property and ensuite is at the front.

My problem is i need to route this stack/line into the existing manhole. I am adding and IC where there is a change in direction. The direction this new line enters the manhole is opposite to the direction the manhole currently flows.

I was thinking of breaking into the manhole and then benching a substantial enough bend to direct towards the outlet flow.
Can anyone advise if this is ok or if there is a better solution. I do not want to in anyway alter the existing clay pipes which i think are 6 inch.

I have added a bend straight over the outlet (not blocking it) - this is just a dry run for illustation - do you think this is ok or does it need to come in and benched into a bend towards the flow.

I have building control involved who i can call out at some point but im just wondering the options
