Fitting a Saniflo unit to a toilet/sink combo

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.52 PM

I'm adding a W/C to a space under a staircase with no easy access to proper waste, hence I'm adding a Saniflo unit. Given the space constraints I want to use a toilet with a sink over the tank (I love the idea that water from washing hands goes into the tank!) but details are hard to come by regarding them being BS EN 33/37 compliant. Would illustrations such as these suggest that the way the waste comes straight out horizontally means they're ok? Thanks! https://images.victorianplumbing.co.uk/images/pdf/METCOMBBA.pdf https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/iconic-combined-two-in-one-wash-basin-toilet?campaign=googlebase&gclid=CjwKCAiAzuPuBRAIEiwAkkmOSGoILpubxzRii7bsxkRdX6XwW5ZIUH936u0Y6XJbPFiqQ7bf_I_EExoCx30QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Saniflo systems aren’t designed to lift and shift waste water from toilets , showers and basins to the nearest drain . Please be aware it Must go in to the foul drainage system IE where your existing toilet empties old property often had only 1 drainage system that leads to the main sewer in the street . More modern houses have 2 drainage systems ,1 for sewage and 1 for fresh water only , this one is usually identified by looking at the gutters on your roof , this should lead to the freshwater drain which goes elsewhere IE streams and rivers etc

Never fitted or seen one looks a good idea though

as long as it goes to a foul drain, weather it be a dedicated foul drain, or combined rain water and foul drain it will be ok.
