Looks like there are various pipe gaskets that would probably work.

OK thanks. Sorry to ask one more question. As I mentioned when I removed the old connector there was putty like stuff filling the void around the it which, due to it being tacky, had all sorts of 'stuff' stuck to it (dust, small bits of paper, etc). It was unsightly and impossible to keep...

Ok, reading all the replies I think I understand a bit better. The 5" (measured at 125.5 mm internal) diameter is actually like a collar that stands proud of the floor by 60mm. At floor level it reduces to 90mm I.D. So it is like a one piece stepped reducer, slightly chamfered at the step to...

I've just removed my old cistern and toilet due to a worsening leak coming from the seal between the two. The seal had disintegrated as had the washers. Bolt threads rusted making it a joy to get the wingnuts off with reduced access. Anyway my question is about the waste pipe. There is a 90...

Promise that this is my last post on this! The reason I'm replacing the oven is that the heating element failed spectacularly (the oven element not the grill). My son went into the kitchen and spotted sparks showering from the fan area at the back. This didn't stop it carried on, eventually...

What I'm eluding to is that if the oven was fitted with a 13A fused plug originally then the oven is designed to draw less than 13A. However if that plug and lead is cut off and replaced with a straight T+E(4mm² or 6mm²) and if a fault developed in the oven it could potentially draw up to 32A...

Also, looking at the original connection I described for the previous oven, where the 13A plug and lead had been removed and replaced with a directly connected 6mm² twin and earth flex then I'm guessing there was no fuse in the circuit other than the 32A MCB!

So there is no special requirement for the 'duty' of the socket in this case?

I am about to fit a replacement built-in electric oven. It has a lead with a 13A fused plug to connect to power. The kitchen has a typical oven switch (red) with an associated 3 pin socket fitted on the wall above the work surface. There is a 45A single connector plate on the wall in the oven...
