Rain pipe connected to Waste pipe
(OP)
Hi ,
Quick Question . i have different piping for waste , soil and rain ,
what if i connect the rain pipe to the waste pipe , is it OK by plumbing code , or there is a solid reason that both pipes cannot be connected ,
Feed me with your knowledge ,
Thanks ,
note : i have a rain pipe from roof which runs in the same shaft i have the waste pipe and soil pipe , what if instead of running another 5-6 floors down riser , i connect the rain pipe to waste pipe from the point they meet in the shaft .
Thanks

Why take the risk of flooding your building lower levels with sewage and waste diluted by rainwater when a pipe plugs up or jams up further downstream?
Keep them separate. (Do you consider waste water different from sewage water? One from a sink or process water system and one from the toilet? )

Soil pipe : WC
