Hi all,
As you may have seen from my previous thread I am replacing my pitch fibre soil pipe with plastic and was advised to use a Fernco rubber adapter coupling to join the plastic onto the old pitch fibre at the bottom. However, I have since found a Marley Soil to Drain adapter as shown in the picture....
....and wondered if this would be more suitable for the job because the soil pipe will fit inside this and there would be less chance of leakage. This adapter will fit into the exiting pipe at the bottom of the soil pipe and I thought this might be a more professional way of doing the job. My only concern is that the bottom of this adapter is only 80mm inside diameter to allow for the rubber seals and I was concerned that solid waste from the upstairs toilet might get stuck here and cause a blockage.
What does anyone think of this or would I just be better off going with the Fernco.
Many thanks
Russell
