Unfortunately I can't withdraw the bend enough to refit a spare grommet. I can find them but wouldn't be able to fit one in. As the bend doesn't clear the opening at all.

Unfortunately doesn't seem to be an option here. Would be very handy if it was though. Generally the bend inserts directly into the rubber grommet that you can see in the other unused inlets.

So while remedying incredibly poor work by the original contractor in my place. I found yet more cowboy nonsense inside a cavity. The shower outlet is connecting into the waste manifold without a rubber grommet. There is evidence of some slight leaking although not major thankfully. And...

Evening all, So I live in an apartment with a grundfos stn 2.0 b supplying everything in the apartment. Recently I had noticed the pump not cleanly shutting off (on off on off etc...) when the toilet cistern was almost finished filling. Took the easiest avenue first and investigated the...

Hi guys, I had a thread here on sewer gas but as the topic has changed, I'll start a new thread for clarity. I suspect the rubber seal on the pan side of a connector has perished a little and is not forming a good seal. Allowing a smell. The waste pipe is at an upward angle which I suspect...

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. As I mentioned above. I decided to try amalgamating tape. I pushed the rubber in to waste pipe a little at the top, put a wide cable tie on the rubber bung. And wrapped every connection and joint in amalgamating tape. Using Teflon tape under it in a few...

I'm after trying there now and can't notice it any more there than anywhere else. I also took the side off the bath just in case of a dead mouse, or leak. And I can't say it's any worse there either. Though the plumbing is anything but tidy. Including a half concreted 4" waste from the service...

Hey ya guys, So long story short. I'm in a very high risk group for covid. Which means I've been in isolation since the start. Which also means I can't if at all possible get a guy in. And a few days ago my main bathroom started stinking with that old familiar smell... Seems to be sewer gas...
