Normal? 7Sep 19, 2017 4:24 pm Definitely an ORG. The regulations state that the spill level must be a minimum of 150mm lower than the lowest fixture connected to the drain and this will be either a floor waste or the shower drain but the regulations also state that where the 150mm minimum height cannot be achieved, a reflux valve must be installed in addition to the ORG. I suggest that you make double sure that you have this. The impermeable path is compliant with the minimum distance below the weep holes which is good to see. You would be surprised at the number of new homes that have the ORG higher than the bottom of weep holes that are not the minimum distance above the path but most paths are laid after handover.

Just wondering as this is happening to us on a new build. Only in the shower rarely used. Grab a hose, insert it at the top of the inlet/down pipe and turn the water on and see where the water is escaping from. Then you'll know. 3 8388 in the stormwater pit or the drain?
