  • Joining 2 toilet waste pipes

    My house has a shower room with a toilet and another room with a bath. I want to convert the bathroom to an en suite and add a toilet. The toilets would be on the same external wall about 4 metres from each other. Can i join the new pipe to the existing pipe from the outside by simply angling it over 4 meters or should it go into the soil pipe in the floor? If I can angle it is there specifications I need to meet? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
