Hi, I would gladly learn about completed building projects! Could you roughly describe your bathrooms in terms of
- Length and width of the floor area
- Arrangement of bathtub, shower, washbasin, toilet in the room (top left/bottom right ...)
- Number and position of soil stacks, including their layout in the room below
- Ventilation through the roof — boxed-in sections, where and how large
- Use of stud walls.
Background: I am planning my own bathroom and want to understand how washbasin, bathtub, and shower drainage are handled ... routed through the suspended ceiling? Below the ceiling (ceiling of the utility room)? Separately via soil stacks (corners of the utility room)? I am not sure and would like to be better prepared for future discussions and learn about some practical examples.

Our question is rather: Does drainage always have to be vertical down to ground level? Or can it be drained horizontally (with the necessary slope) within or below the ceiling? Or in a completely different way? (Pumping systems are obviously out of the question ).

The most complicated part is the toilet, as you need a 100mm (4 inch) pipe. The floor construction usually does not allow for longer distances. At most, this could still be done in a drywall partition. Everything else typically uses a 50mm (2 inch) pipe. You can estimate for yourself how much distance you can cover with the appropriate slope within your floor construction…
