Hi,
Has anyone ever used a micro trap on a bath, same as here http://www.plastec.com.au/PlastecAustralia/media/Plastec-Brochures/Plastec-Microtrap.pdf I am installing a Decina Uno 1535 island bath and the waste will be directly over a 50mm wide floor joist, unfortunately i cannot reposition the bath any where else. So i either have to use one of these micro traps or raise the bath sufficiently to allow a low level trap to be used. As the bath is against the wall next to the ceiling space over the kitchen i can easily run the waste pipe out the wall, through the ceiling and down the out side wall to the existing disconnector gulley. Or if i have read the plumbing code correctly can i put the trap away from the bath up to a maximum distance of 600mm?
Extract from AS/NZS 3500.5:2000
4.37.3 Location of traps and self-sealing mechanical devices
Traps and self-sealing mechanical devices shall be connected as close as
possible to the outlet of the fixture or appliance served, in accordance with
this Standard. The maximum distance from the outlet of a fixture to the
surface of the water seal of a trap or the sealing face of a self-sealing
mechanical device shall be 600 mm for all fixtures other than floor waste
gullies (see Clause 4.35.8.6) and fixture pairs (see Clause 4.37.4.2).
ideas and thoughts appreciated.
