If the toilet is far from the riser. Rearranging the toilet to free up usable space

There are many options for moving the toilet to another place. This article will give some recommendations, for example, on how to dismantle the toilet bowl, install it in a new place, etc. There are many circumstances for transferring:

1. Expansion of the toilet area. After the transfer of the walls, the placement of the toilet may become uncomfortable.
2. Replacing an old toilet with a new one. At the end of the installation of a new device, it may be found that it has other dimensions. It is worth considering that the restructuring of the bathroom allows for the replacement or, in addition, a new installation of the sewer system for a more ergonomic toilet bowl with new dimensions.
3. Purchasing a new washing machine, bath or shower, for the installation of which it may be necessary to transfer the toilet bowl, respectively, its dismantling from the riser.

How to remove the toilet

The dismantling of the toilet itself is directly related to how it was installed. The easiest dismantling is when the toilet is installed on standard fasteners, and its connection to the tank is made by means of a rubber cuff. In other cases, the scope of work may be much wider. Where to begin?

1. Unscrew the fastener. If the toilet is screwed to the floor, then a wrench or a screwdriver will come in handy. If this is a wall-mounted toilet, then when removing it, you must be careful not to break it.
2. Pull out the sewer outlet. To do this, you need to move the toilet toward you along the axis of the socket. It is not necessary to shut off the water in the tank, the main thing is not to press the button or the drain lever out of habit. If the base of the toilet bowl was glued or planted on cement, then this is not a nuisance, but it will be harder to remove it without breaking it.
3. You need to take a screwdriver and cautiously remove the putty between the socket and the outlet. This should be done very carefully so as not to damage the toilet, due to the fact that it is possible to break it.
4. Having picked up a chisel, it is possible with little effort to start driving this tool from all sides under the base of the toilet bowl. By whether the toilet wobbles or not, it is possible to find out how the cement under its base was broken. Indeed, there is a risk of breaking the toilet at the end of one or two careless blows.
5. Having loosened the toilet bowl, it is necessary to move it from side to side, making little effort. At the end, you need to remove the outlet from the socket (strictly along the axis).

Installing a toilet in a new location

Replacing the flexible piping is not necessary if the system is working well. If you still need to change it, then this is done quite simply. First you need a sealant for sewer pipes to get a better mount. Connect the toilet to the riser with a corrugation. The advantage of such corrugated pipes are rubber seals located on both sides. Then we fix the toilet bowl to the floor, optimally on the screws. If the floor is not very level, it is possible to make a small layer of adhesive-cement screed.

Advice! When installing the toilet bowl on the screws, you should never press them without plastic washers, otherwise the base of the toilet bowl may be damaged.

• The socket of the pipe to which the toilet outlet will be connected must be clean and dry.
• To install the toilet with screws, you need to drill holes in the floor for new fasteners; on the tiled floor, you need to drill holes with a larger drill.

A pre-purchased sealant is applied to the floor, after which a toilet is installed. In order to correctly make holes and spread silicone where necessary, a toilet bowl is applied to a dry floor, the contour of its base is outlined and the holes are marked. After that, holes for screws are drilled along these marks, and silicone is applied along the contour. After that, it is possible to install a toilet bowl, after the installation of which a corrugation is put on its outlet. Putting the toilet in a new place, you need to make sure that it is stable.

Transferring the toilet in more complex cases

If the toilet is installed near a dilapidated place, then it will be easier to connect the water with a flexible connection. Reworking the drain system will come in handy if, at the end of the toilet movement, it is found out that the length of the corrugation is shallow. In some cases, it is necessary to make a tie-in into the sewer riser, especially at a time when the input needs to be made lower.

For the installation of a new sewer system, a 110 mm plastic pipe is useful. When assembling the system, it is fundamentally important to think about what specific fittings and corners can come in handy, and how many of them will be needed.

Clamps will help fasten the sewer pipe. In other cases, the sewer is simply mounted directly on the floor, in the corner between it and the wall. Under such conditions, it is more likely that it will be necessary to remove the outlet to the toilet from the tee to lower the sewer almost to the floor mark.

If the riser pipe is made of cast iron, it is necessary to warm it up with a burner or a blowtorch so that it is possible to remove the dilapidated pipe. It goes without saying that such troubles would not have happened with plastic, but alas, in dilapidated multi-storey buildings, the risers are mostly made of cast iron.

When heating cast iron, you need to take care of a new sealant - a dilapidated cable will burn out at the end of such a procedure. At the end of the warm-up, it is possible to remove the pipe from the socket. A fitting is used to insert a plastic tube into a cast iron tube. For more reliable fixation, its edge, which will be inserted into cast iron, is smeared with sealant. sealant is no less meticulously applied to the cast-iron pipe.

Advice! When installing the sewer, it is necessary to observe a slope to the riser from the toilet bowl of 1–2 cm per 1 m.

Before you insert a new pipe into the socket, you need to do one unpleasant job - if there is dirt, it must be removed. A burner will help with this. You need to be prepared for the fact that there will be an unpleasant smell. Indeed, it's worth it - at the end of such cleaning, the sewer will not clog for a long time. After making sure that there is ventilation for ventilation, and a respiratory protection device is prepared - a respirator, it is possible to start cleaning.

To make it easier to fit a plastic pipe to the outlet, you need a fitting that will provide a chance to connect to the toilet. At the end of the connection, it is possible to supply water to the tank and try to flush the toilet. It is possible to close the sewer pipe with a neat drywall box.

If everything works fine, it means that the installation went as it should, and the one who installed the toilet bowl exactly applied all the recommendations from this article.

In brick and panel houses of old construction, i.e. "Khrushchev", bathrooms combined, where in the corner there is a sewer riser, which occupies part of the room, and the toilet is directly opposite the door in front of the riser. And to put a washing machine in such a bathroom, even a standard one, is simply unrealistic - even hang it from the ceiling. However, there is a way out in this situation - rearrange the toilet.
It is necessary to put it at an angle of 45 ° to the axis of the room, thereby saving space.

Is it possible to cope with this task on your own?

To rearrange the toilet to another place in the bathroom on the shoulder of every man who knows how to hold a tool in his hands. You just need to immediately think about how the bathroom will look after rearranging the toilet. The floor under the standing toilet without tiles, unlike the entire bathroom.

Therefore, the rearrangement is best done simultaneously with the repair of the bathroom.
Having decided to rearrange the toilet, you immediately decide to replace it with a new, more modern one. Indeed, for so many years of operation, the "sanitary instrument" has lost its whiteness and aesthetic appearance. Now you can choose a toilet bowl without problems, their range is huge both in appearance and in quality.

Just do not buy a toilet bowl with a corner tank, this model is not suitable for a combined bathroom and it will not work to make an eyeliner, which is described below. They are designed to be installed in the corner of the bathroom and its outlet will rest against the wall. It is better to take a standard medium size, but the toilet itself - you can use any one that looks at you.
But before you start smashing everything, prepare the materials that will be needed for the job.

For this you need:

1. A piece of a vent pipe with a socket (diameter 110 mm) in order to lengthen the transition elbow and put the toilet closer to the corner.
2. Two 90° elbows (diameter 110 mm) made of PVC.
3. One toilet outlet with 45° outlet seal.

At the time of repair, you still can’t do without a toilet, because the process is not fast. There is no spare toilet in your apartment, so do not forget to also purchase a corrugated flexible eyeliner of the required length. It is necessary to disconnect the toilet bowl from the piping and from the fixtures in the floor. Move the toilet from the installation site so that you can freely do work, and connect it with a corrugation to the vent pipe. So the toilet can be temporarily used.

From the purchased parts, it is necessary to assemble the supply elbow. To make it easier to fit the knee in size, it is better to remove the rubber sealing cuffs. Pushing and pushing the branch, it is necessary to achieve the desired length. Only with an exact match of the length of the entire structure, will it allow the knee with the release of the toilet bowl to enter the fan pipe.

Having fitted the bends, you need to make marks with a marker at the points of their connections in order to make the final assembly of the toilet bowl faster later.
Now we disassemble this design, lubricate the rubber cuffs, then you need to install them in place, and again we assemble everything. Now we connect the assembled structure with a branch to the outlet of the toilet bowl, and connect the other end to the riser's fan pipe.

Do not forget to adjust the outlet structure in height, a uniform slope of the structure is needed at least 2-4 °.
Through the holes in the toilet pedestal, we mark the places where the toilet bowl is attached to the floor. We install the flush tank so that the edges do not rest against the wall. At the marked points in the floor, we drill holes and fasten the toilet bowl with dowels in a new place.

Now in the bathroom it will calmly fit and decent, which will not interfere with anyone. And moving the toilet to a more convenient place is not difficult, there would be a desire!

Most redevelopments are implemented in order to increase the comfort of the premises and for its greater convenience. In typical apartments, for example, there may be inconveniently equipped kitchens and bathrooms. Their small area limits the functionality of the room and does not allow the installation of additional equipment there.

In the bathrooms (bathroom and toilet), plumbing is often carried out in order to install some other equipment on a free area. Often redevelopment is carried out with the transfer of the toilet. But many owners, when agreeing, ask themselves the question: “Is the transfer of the toilet bowl considered a redevelopment?”.

According to housing legislation, the transfer, installation and replacement of engineering equipment falls under the concept of reorganization. Reorganization may be part of the redevelopment and it must be coordinated.

However, we note the following: replacing a toilet bowl with a similar new one at the site of the previous toilet bowl and without affecting the installation of the floors does not require coordination, but the transfer of the toilet bowl with the dismantling of the floor covering requires coordination; also redevelopment is the installation of a toilet, so this equipment was not initially noted in the technical plans of the BTI.

Affecting the floors during such work may require waterproofing - hidden work, for which it is mandatory to draw up an act.

Redevelopment with the transfer of the toilet requires the development of a project.

The transfer of the toilet bowl must be carried out in accordance with certain rules :

• transfer from the riser is possible at a distance of no more than 1.5 m;
• it is not recommended to mount pipes at a right angle to avoid blockages;
• it is necessary to take into account the slope of the pipe and, if necessary, install a podium for the toilet bowl or simply raise it above the floor level, etc.

Coordination of the transfer of only one toilet according to the project will be necessary only if, when laying pipes to the riser, it is necessary to dismantle the floor. The dismantled floor in the bathroom area will need waterproofing.

Toilet remodel project:

To sum it up, this is what happens:

• installing a new toilet in place of the old one without affecting the flooring is not a redevelopment and no approval is required;
• moving a toilet bowl from one place to another is a refurbishment that needs to be coordinated;
• installation of a toilet bowl where it was not originally indicated on the BTI plans is a redevelopment that requires approval;
• if, during the transfer, replacement or installation of the toilet, the floor is completely or partially dismantled and further waterproofing is carried out, then acts of hidden waterproofing work will be required - this procedure already implies redevelopment or reorganization;
• when moving, installing or replacing a toilet bowl and other engineering equipment, all applicable standards, norms and rules must be observed.

If you are going to carry out repairs with one or another type of work on the transfer or installation of a toilet bowl, we recommend that you contact us for the development of project documentation or approval of redevelopment, if all this is necessary. Also, our highly qualified specialists will advise you on all your questions. You can find your email and phone number in the "Contacts" section.

You can move the toilet some distance from the riser. However, this event, simple at first glance, has many nuances on which the further use of the equipment depends. Plumbers warn that the greater the distance the sewer riser will have to overcome sewage, the higher the risk of blockage. Some "masters" argue that this is not so, because theoretically pollution will "get" to the target anyway. This is true, but there are much more opportunities to "fix" in place on a long journey. Another problem is the appearance of an unpleasant sewer smell in the room. It is associated with excessive vacuum, which is inevitable in sewer pipes that are too long. In this case, each flush will be accompanied by the suction of water from all nearby plumbing fixtures and the failure of their water seals. In addition to smells from the sewer, unpleasant gurgling sounds will also appear. To avoid the above problems, you should follow the recommendations of the current SNIP.

The document prescribes to move the toilet no more than 1.5 m from the sewer riser. In addition to the “correct” removal, it is also necessary to observe the required slope under which the pipeline should be laid. For parts with a diameter of 100 mm, the slope should be 2 cm per meter. For elements with a diameter of 50 mm, the slope cannot be less than 3 cm per meter. These recommendations should be strictly observed, otherwise problems with blockages cannot be avoided. Decreasing the recommended settings will result in a slower fluid flow, resulting in blockages. Increasing the slope, on the other hand, will cause the water to move too fast. She will not have time to capture solid contaminants, which will begin to accumulate in the pipe and eventually completely block it. It turns out that most often the toilet bowl, when transferred to another place, has to be raised in order to provide the necessary slope for the pipes. In this case, depending on the transfer distance, a fairly decent amount of lift can be obtained. In addition, the pipe connecting the riser and the toilet will also have to be somehow masked. Given that its diameter is large enough, you may need to raise the floor or equip a small podium, especially for plumbing equipment.

Another important detail: when laying a new pipeline, right angles should be avoided. If you can’t do without them, proceed as follows: mount two angles of 45 ° instead of one of 90 °. Otherwise, the likelihood of blockages in the pipe increases dramatically. All of the above requirements are mandatory when transferring the toilet. However, even they do not work if it is required to move the equipment to a greater distance than indicated in the SNIP, or if its recommendations are difficult to implement. There is a solution in this case too.

The first is the transfer of the riser itself, which is extremely troublesome. The second is the use of special equipment that is intended for forced sewage.

Creating a comfortable environment is impossible without redevelopment of the premises, which also affects the toilet in the apartment.

Possible problems when moving the toilet

The increase in the free space of the toilet room pushes for thought and reinstallation of the bathroom. Is moving the toilet to the side realistic?

Yes, but in order for plumbing to function properly, you should know some subtleties.

Experts voice the following nuances of such a transfer:

1. The likelihood of blockage increases with distance from the riser, because sewage overcomes a long way.
2. Flushing water is accompanied by an unpleasant odor (sewer stench) and gurgling sounds. In a long pipeline, a high vacuum is formed, which leads to the suction of water from the appliances (located nearby plumbing) and the failure of their hydraulic valves.

With the right approach to solving the issue, such problems can be avoided. Moving a toilet from a riser - a process that is regulated current regulations (SNiP).

Sewer line requirements:

• Use of pipes whose diameter is in the range of 50 ... 100 mm. The optimal section is considered to be 100 mm, which is brought to the toilet (the minimum risk of a vacuum or a “plug” from sewage).
• The maximum distance from the toilet to the riser is 1.5m. If the pipe is longer, the capacity of the drain tank will not be enough to push the fecal matter. They settle on the walls of the pipeline, and a blockage is formed.
• Observance of the correct slope. For each meter of pipeline, it is 2 cm (for a section of 100 mm) or 3 cm (for a 50 mm section).

With an underestimated angle of inclination of the drain, 100% clogging of the sewer is guaranteed, since the flow rate of the liquid is reduced. If the slope is too high, the flow develops excessive speed, which is why solid particles accumulate in the pipe. As a result, the flow of water is blocked.

The easiest way to get the required slope is to provide a podium for the installation of the toilet, lifting it above the surface (sometimes by a significant amount). Here you can hide plumbing communications.

• Lack of right angles when laying a new sewer. If this condition is not met, installation at an angle of 45° is allowed (two such angles instead of one straight).

If you put the toilet in the apartment, taking into account these simple rules, then the likelihood of a blockage will be minimized (drainage is discharged by gravity).

In practice, to move the toilet, you will need to perform a certain sequence of actions:

1. Mark the distance that you can move the bathroom. You will need to fix one end of a one and a half meter twine on the riser and draw an arc with chalk (tied to the other end of the rope).
2. Choose the most suitable location for the toilet and install it. It is advisable not to leave the maximum distance zone marked on the floor.
3. Measure the height difference between the center of the drain pipe and the floor. Compare the received data with the height of the inset point. If it turns out to be higher, you will have to build a podium with which the drain pipe rises 30 mm above the riser tee (tie-in point).
4. Fix the plumbing on the podium (floor) and connect it to the drain system, ensuring the pipeline is as straight as possible (avoid right angles).

It is not necessary to carry out a hard supply of cold water to the toilet, it is much easier to use a long flexible hose.

Toilet in the apartment: how to transfer the toilet bowl from the riser

Creating a comfortable environment is impossible without redevelopment of the premises, which also affects the toilet in the apartment. Increasing the free space of the toilet

Ways to transfer the toilet from the riser to another place

Due to the small area of ​​the bathroom, often, during the overhaul of the restroom, it becomes necessary to move sanitary equipment. In order to effectively use the free space, as a rule, many people prefer to redevelop the premises.

The result of these works is the transfer of the toilet from the riser. Since this process is related to the issues of water supply, drainage of the device, its solution must be taken as responsibly as possible.

Reasons for moving the toilet

Before proceeding with the process of dismantling the old toilet and installing a new one, consider the main reasons for its transfer.

• Changing the layout of the bathroom. In this case, all operations are coordinated, at a minimum, with the Housing Inspection, the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision, the State Fire Supervision, and the Architectural and Planning Department. Only after obtaining permission, redevelopment of the restroom is carried out. When moving a wall, the old location of the device can cause discomfort, which is why it becomes necessary to move it.
• Replacing the old device with a new one, which has a much larger size. If, due to the dimensions of the updated design, it cannot be installed in the previous location, the product should be relocated.
• Buying new furniture for the bathroom.

Remember, regardless of motivation, the old toilet should be removed whole, the sewer should be redone, and only after that proceed with installing the device at another point in the restroom. For this purpose, often, use a long flexible eyeliner.

Moving a toilet (the easy way)

This method involves moving sanitary equipment to a distance that does not exceed 30cm.

Before proceeding with the installation of the structure in a new place, it is necessary to dismantle the old device.

The sequence of work depends on the method of installing plumbing.

If the device is fixed using standard fasteners, and its outlet is connected to the sewer with a rubber cuff, you must:

• unscrew the screws that fix the toilet to the floor;
• pull out the outlet of the device from the socket of the sewer line

Consider the sequence of work in the case of placing the toilet on an adhesive or cement base.

Before dismantling the device, shut off the water supply valve to the tank, and drain the liquid from the tank.

• Remove the putty between the outlet of the structure and the sewer socket.

Remember, work must be done as carefully as possible to exclude the possibility of a split in the outlet, otherwise the device is not subject to further operation.

• Shatter the toilet. For this purpose, a wide chisel is driven in from different sides of the base of the structure.
• Pull the outlet, strictly along the axis, from the sewer socket.

After the successful dismantling of the structure, proceed to the installation process of the product. Since the distance from the new location of the toilet to the water supply and sewerage network is small, there is no need to build up pipelines.

Let us consider in more detail the process of installing a toilet bowl in a new place.

• Clean the outlet of the device and the sewer socket.
• Mark new holes in the floor covering for fixing the toilet bowl and then drill them.
• Put the corrugation on the outlet of the device, while it is important to first apply the sealant to the surface.
• Cover the gaps between the base and the flooring with cement mortar, this will create additional support for the structure.
• Insert the corrugation into the socket.

After performing the above operations, you should check the performance of the device.

Moving a toilet (the hard way)

If it is necessary to move the device to a distance that exceeds the length of the corrugation, it is necessary to remake the sewer.

Mounting and dismantling of the device will be similar to a simple method. At the same time, in order to build up the drainage pipeline, a plastic pipe with a diameter of 110 mm is used.

Remember, the length of the structure and the choice of corners depend on the location of the toilet.

The nuances that should be considered in the process of assembling a plastic sewer

• Ensure that there is a slope towards the riser: 2 cm per linear meter.
• When removing a cast-iron branch from a tee, a crosspiece to the device, preheat the socket with a blowtorch. The result of this procedure is the burnout of the sealant and the cracking of the cement putty. After that, you need to remove the pipe from the socket.

Sewer installation should be carried out directly from the riser.

• To insert a plastic pipe into a cast-iron socket, use a sealing collar.
• Sulfur-filled joints of cast-iron pipes are annealed with a blowtorch.

Remember, in order to minimize labor costs, instead of accurately fitting the plastic pipes of the drainage system to the toilet outlet, you can use corrugation.

For the effective functioning of the sewer system, it is important to consider the following rules in the process of connecting plumbing equipment.

• The greater the distance from the toilet to the sewer riser, the higher it should be placed. This will create the necessary slope of the pipe for unhindered drainage of wastewater.

If the structure is far from the riser, it is necessary to provide for the construction of a podium.

• It is forbidden to fix the toilet bowl, pipelines to the inter-apartment walls, as well as to shift the sewer risers.
• Plumbing fixtures should be connected to the main line at an angle of 45 or 135 degrees.

Remember, you can not connect the toilet to the sewer system at a right angle, as this will inevitably lead to clogging of the pipe.

• For the possibility of carrying out preventive work, in the places where the pipeline turns, it is important to provide for the presence of special hatches.

Thus, if it is necessary to transfer the toilet bowl from the riser to a new location, it is important to initially consult with the architect, familiarize yourself with the rules for installing the structure, measure the distance from the sewer system to the device, and only after that choose the necessary method and proceed with the work process.

How to move the toilet from the riser when combining a bath with a toilet?

Good afternoon! Considering a bathroom renovation. We want to combine it with the toilet. For the convenience of redevelopment, you need to move the toilet. I doubt that this is possible ... Is it real? And how to do it so as not to run into problems in the further operation of the equipment?

Hello! You can move the toilet some distance from the riser. However, this event, simple at first glance, has many nuances on which the further use of the equipment depends. Plumbers warn that the greater the distance the sewer riser will have to overcome sewage, the higher the risk of blockage. Some "masters" argue that this is not so, because theoretically pollution will "get" to the target anyway. This is true, but there are much more opportunities to "fix" in place on a long journey.

The first is the transfer of the riser itself, which is extremely troublesome. The second is the use of special equipment that is intended for forced sewage. It makes the system work in conditions where conventional gravity sewerage cannot cope with its functions. To equip such a structure, a sololift or a fecal pump is usually used. This is a compact device that can be placed behind the toilet bowl or even inside it. The device, which is a powerful pump equipped with chopper blades, pumps out sewage, grinds solid waste, and pushes the resulting mass into the sewer.

One of the main advantages of the equipment is the ability to use sewer pipes of small diameter: from 18 to 40 mm, which are very easy to hide even behind a plasterboard wall. The power of the pump is quite high. With it, you can easily remove sewage to a distance of about 5-7 m vertically and about 100 m horizontally. No additional construction work is required to install the device. When choosing a sololift for forced sewerage, it should be borne in mind that if you plan to connect a washing machine or a shower cabin to it, you need to choose models with relatively high temperature limits for drains. Otherwise, the device will fail very quickly.

Versions are available with short-term protection, which allows the pump to pump hot drains. However, it is designed only for half an hour operation. Permanent work with a heated liquid is also contraindicated for such devices. In the technical part, the recommendations for transferring the toilet from the riser are not much different from the standard instructions for connecting the device. The only difference is in the installation of a longer pipeline laid at a slope. Installation of the grinder pump is carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of the instructions.

How to move the toilet from the riser - advice from an expert

When remodeling a bathroom, it is often necessary to move the toilet some distance from the riser. Consider the problems that may arise and ways to solve them.

Is it possible to move the toilet in the apartment to another place?

everything is possible, you just need to take it seriously and find out everything. Of course, you can put the toilet in the middle of the room and enjoy life, but if you do the sewerage and drains incorrectly, then soon the whole room will be in.

Very important! For each meter of outlet there should be a rise of about 3-4 cm, otherwise the contents of the toilet simply will not go away, etc. Thus, if you move the toilet 2 meters, then at the base of the toilet, the height of the connection should be 7 cm, if 3 meters, then about 10 cm. Can you afford such a lift? After all, to do this, you need to either put the toilet on a pedestal, or raise the floor

Not everything is so simple, from a technical point of view, you can move the toilet anywhere, even into the living room, bring water without problems, but the slope of the pipes cannot be sustained for a length of more than 5 meters, the toilet will simply be “under the ceiling”, there is a way out forced sewage.

Technically, everything is solved, the problem is different.

Bathrooms cannot be made above the kitchens and above the living quarters of the neighbors below.

This is the first point that sharply limits the concept of “to another place”.

From other places, the actual bathroom itself remains inside which you can move the toilet bowl anywhere and the corridor.

The toilet in the hallway is certainly fun, but not very convenient.

There are exceptions, if you live on the first floor and there are no living or utility rooms under you (workshops in the basement, gyms, etc.), then you can move it wherever you want.

Or if you are the owner of a duplex apartment.

In this case, your toilet bowl, above your own kitchen, may well be installed.

You can move the toilet and nothing, and no one will stop you from doing it, but besides putting it in a convenient desired place, you need to connect it to the water supply (this is not such a big problem) and the sewage system is already more difficult here!

Plumbing is an easy problem to solve, soldering plastic or putting a longer supply hose is not difficult, but you can’t accelerate much with sewage, there should be a central riser nearby, since laying a 100 mm pipe or corrugation is too far from aesthetically pleasing, and is fraught with blockages.

Therefore, a riser is needed, in apartments they often have bathrooms and closets, and even happen in corridors and kitchens, respectively, all adjoining rooms will be in the access zone to them.

You need to decide, connect and equip a suitable room - that's all, if you are afraid of problems with the housing, do not be afraid, but do not tell everyone on every corner, otherwise you will have to register the redevelopment!
