Vaillant controls Discussion Thread

Hi all

I have Vaillant 624 running 3 circuits; a Telford unvented tank and then 2 hearings circuits (downstairs & 1st/2nd floor).

WC cubicles side by side toilets Discussion Thread

Hi All, I do DIY at a local dance hall and we have room to fit two more ladies toilets side by side.
There is an adjacent soil stack outside that I can branch into
My question is do I connect the pans to a soil pipe inside the building in line then knock through the wall and connect to the existing soil stack or know through twice and connect the two pans outside.
Thanks Les
