further to my topic asking about removing and fitting a toilet, I was wanting to fit a sink for hand washing into the downstairs toilet that I'm looking at replacing, however the only drainage from the area is the waste pipe from the downstairs loo, and this is concreted in (concrete floor etc)
there is no method of running the waste pipe from the sink out to join the kitchen drain that I can see, it would need to cross the room completely, this room forms a corridor.
I had thought, since it's only a small sink for hand washing that it might be possible to just drain the sink into the pipe connecting cistern and toilet pan, as such the small amount of water used to wash hands drains through the pipes into the toilet itself by connecting it in using a wye joint similar to this:
so, to my question:
is it ok to do this (I know it's possible as the pipes will physically fit together) what I don't know is any detrimental effects this will have on the toilet's flushing ability or what effect flushing the toilet may have on the sink.
Thanks.
