I need to cut back a horizontal soil pipe in order to fit a new toilet. It is 3.5" ID cast-iron and still has it's collar. There is about 2.5" between the back of the collar and the wall - Will this be enough for a chain cutter to fit around it? :?: I intend to hire a cutter from HSS...

I will take that as a legally-binding guarantee that it will be fine :wink:

~ 250mm. Your response does not fill me with confidence! :D

Hi Bahco, I intend to box in the 120mm window recess so I can conceal the toilet cistern (not shown on the sketch) and the basin pipework. Due to the location of the waste I hope to chase the pipe ino the wall. If 40mm is too much to chse, I will further explore using a boss on the WC...

Anyone? Pretty pleeeaase :cry:

Great find! I thought it looked too short, but the multilink website says you can link multiple connectors together. Would the MacAlpine still do the job?

Does anyone have any experience with one of these: Would it be suitable to use as a basin waste? I am concerned that boss appears to pinch; but then it is just basin waste (washing hands/shaving). I cannot find any alternatives :| Thanks in advance.

It will be a nightmare to strip but I shall give it a go. I still think it would look naff if I tile up to it... Anybody know where I could get a smart looking vent which I could fit over it perhaps?

Thank you, but sadly not :( I will be installing a back-to-wall pan, and the soil pipe will extend into the back of the toilet. This means there is very little/no room to get the basin waste pipe into the back of the pan to meet the connector. Anyone else?

Hi All, I am renovating my bathroom but am stuck with what to do with a airbrick/vent. As you can tell, the thing has been painted over many times and is a mess. I deally I would tile this wall but I can't imagine it would look nice. Any ideas?! Ta GP

Can someone kindly advise on whether the following chase for a bathroom waste is possible/sensible please? For informstion, the building is 1880's redbrick "mansion" split into flats (we are the 3rd of 4 floors). I had been considering connecting the waste to the toilet pan connector...

Excellent, thank you. Would you be able to advise on whether I would need a AAV / Anti-Syphon trap? I have a through-wall WC waste pipe and the Stack itself is vented. GW

I need some advice please with regards to different pipe connection methods. I am installing a new basin and intend to have the 32mm waste running to a WC/soil pipe boss. This piping will then be boxed in. My questions are: a) What pipe joining method is most reliable – solvent...

Me and the wife. If I suggest a bucket she will likely leave me :cry:

Hi all, I need some advice concerning the fitting of a new bathroom which I hope you can help with. I should mention that this is our only bathroom/WC….! I am concealing the toilet cistern behind a PB/Aquapanel wall which will be plastered prior to being tiled (not the whole wall will be...

OK, not good then!! When you lay a new floor on top of an existing wooden subfloor, I understood that you should avoid using a DPM as this may cause condensation issues? If this is correct, and a DPM should be avoided, I would have thought that covering the subfloor in an adhesive would...

Thanks WYL, Out of interest, which of the above four points worries you most? If you glue a new flooring to the subfloor, will this effectively be like a DPM? i.e. it will stop the floor 'breathing' anyway? GW

Engineered flooring installation. One of the companies we have approached propose to install it as follows: 1) Lay it in the direction of the existing (tatty) pine boards using 3mm ply in the low areas only - Whilst I understand that a min of 5.5mm is typically the minimum. 2) Use...

Situation: You get a specialist in to do a job you don't feel capable of doing. They tell you they are going to do it in a particular way; which seems to contradict with what personal research suggests. How do you decide who knows best??!! Afterall, they have Xyears experience and have...
