I’m looking to need to run a soil pipe through a house wall below ground level and going the route of rocker pipes to allow for any movement.
For clarity on the situation a soil pipe will exit through a core drilled hole in a house wall and be fixed rigidly in the wall. Internally the pipe will be fixed in free space to the bottom of a suspended timber floor which is attached to the wall, so no movement joint would be needed. Externally the pipe is emerging below ground level and I was looking to make a rocker pipe arrangement to connect into an inspection chamber to allow for any ground/building movement.
Having never put in rocker pipes before I was wondering if joints are simply made by cutting the pipe into sections and using those rubber connectors with big jubilee clips to create joints that can flex a bit? Am i missing anything or is it that simple?
Any help appreciated.
