Re: putting 2x downpipes outlets into 1.

Hello @mechanical2 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about your downpipes. Please note that any plumbing work or stormwater connections must be carried out by a licensed plumber for safety and compliance.

 

It's probable that the plumber will be using a "Y" junction with a reducer to accommodate the change in size. In regards to the soak well you can always ask your plumber regarding the pipe size. But from a drainage point of view, a larger pipe will be able to carry more water in it.  

 

If you need further assistance, please let u know.
