Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Apr 12, 2014 10:14 am Hello Guys, While renovating the laundry (which is next to our kitchen) we are adding a toilet and shower in the laundry as well. The renovator is saying we can connect the new shower output pipe to the existing kitchen pipe. But we are wondering if it safe? Will it be smelly? Please advise.

Is this going under the floor ? Not being a plumber I'm not sure if this would contravene any other rules though.

There was appropriate s-traps involved. It was a '50s weatherboard on stumps - we renovated bathroom, kitchen and laundry in that place! All the (same category) pipes have to connect up to leave the property anyhow, so they'd connect somewhere along the line regardless. Land settled May '14.
