Bulk Head Question

If I had one bulkhead and they managed to get lodged in the pipe somewhere at a point either just before the bulkhead (presumably where the network of siphons and emergency drains converge to enter a single bulkhead in your proposed one-bulkhead suggestion) or in the pipe on the other side of the bulkhead the redundancy of the extra overflows would have been moot and I would have had a wet floor.

I think you have misunderstood exactly what I mean, I have no intention of running all the pipes into one drain, all feeds go independently to the sump, I think I know how to keep the floor dry, Beans super safe system was designed for precisely that reason, although a Herbie is good, the extra fail safe is enough to keep his marriage from coming to a wet end.
