Sorry im not familiar with the "toe drain" term? what part of the post you referring to? The core drilled sections through the wall will act like toe-drain. A toe-drain is a simple exposed drainage line to allow water to drain away and weep. Unless you plan on sealing these up after putting your PVC in, they will be areas that will weep water into the surrounding ground (ie. around the path/wall area of the slab). You only need one drain and then only connect it to the lowest point in your yard. These core drilled holes are core drilled to where ever the agi pipes will Tee off into which is pretty much close to the footing. Behind that area will be water proofed, i see what your saying though ill make sure its waterproofed and sealed around the pipes entering the holes from the back as well ill put one of those flanges or seals to seal any gaps around the pipes and then water proof it. I need this otherwise i wont have an exit point for my agi and water just fills up and sits there with no where to go. So i have made three exit points that will exit out . I have already drilled out 3 points, will it matter that ill have 3 drain pits on that footpath they wont be overly huge? then ill connect it to the lowest point in the yard. I know it might be overkill but ive already drilled them out. Thanks again Thanks for all replies. I just noticed now the pictures I added to post right on top of page were wrong. I attached pictures showing "current" and my "suggested" floor… 9 14604 Regardless of wall hung toilet or floor pan toilet your feet will be right on drain, seems to me the waste should not be in that location given the design. Also are you… 6 7020 Thank you again Simeon.. I will call my certifier for that. Have a good day 4 5099 |
