About this deal

Be sure to make sure your pipe size is the same as that of your sink waste trap to avoid any nasty leaks. My outside waste pipe from the kitchen sink has a 90degree joint that has cracked and causing the waste to leak before reaching the main drain. Secondly, i just cannot find a standard 90 degree joint that has a suitable diameter of 43mm standard.

I may be being think and there is a simple option but im loathed to replace the full waste pipe configuration as the pipe from inside to outside is cemented through the wall so would require more work than im probably capable of myself. Do you have to 'stretch' a 40mm compression washer over the 43mm pipe, (looks like it would be pretty tight! Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. I couldn't find anything on the specification that stated whether it came down to 40mm, but if that's the one, then thanks very much for your advice. In contrast, waste pipe fittings made from polypropylene and polyethene will not break down or bond when exposed to solvents.quote="plumbbob"]There are one or two odd sizes of pipe about, and solvent weld is usually larger than std 40mm.

I guess firstly, to remove the joint i think i need to saw off the pipe at the joint which would result in a smaller pipe out of the wall.

I naively thought a simple replacement would be suitable however since found that the joint is solvent weld and has an outside diameter of 43mm rather the standard 40mm. Unfortunately this is the section of solvent weld pipe that is poking up out the floor that the plumber put in, I'll just have to struggle it on, perhaps some kind of lubricant could be used? Solvent weld a 43mm waste pipe to traps from the sink, shower, washer or more, to create secure wastage systems. The 14° White Soil Pan Connector for use when replacing an angled outlet pan with a horizontal outlet pan to 110mm soil systems.Solvent weld fit runs have the most extended lifespan of all waste systems, including push-fit and compression systems. Stretched out under the bath trying to stretch the rubber washer over the pipe didn't seem 'easy' hence I didn't want to stretch it too far and find out I should have done it some other way. To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below. Compression style couplings usually cope with a larger size of pipe as well as allowing for a slight variation of angle joint. Pipe should come out of wall fairly easily, could use multifit joiner T28M inside to connect from old pipe to new 40mm pipe.
