Yeah thats the plan going forward. Just the consistency I'm unfamiliar with. Will it still go off and set fine if you don't use enough water? The stated 500ml to 1kg was quite thick but maybe thats how it has to be. Just thinking a slightly wetter mix might be easier to apply as a skim coat?

Made a bit of a hash of this first attempt ! I filled up the cracks and got the tape on, clearly mixed to much filler up than I could really get on somdid waste quite a bit (1kg bag) Also got distracted yapping to a mate who had come around to pick up a reel of cable. Anyways, how long before...

https://www.wickes.co.uk/Hadleigh-Click+Freeflow-2-Part-Basin-Waste---Matt-Black/p/230292# This is it here. Says it suits slotted and unslotted waste but there doesn't look like there's any alignment holes. Assuming the way it's assembled the slotted overflow would work from any direction.

Thanks for the heads up! I was actually looking at the basin waste today and I'm hoping it also has some clever internal overflow haha.

Thanks for the help guys. Another section of the bathroom prep complete.

Just had something in my head niggling at me not to use a flexible pan connector. Been a pretty slow project this bathroom as I can only work a couple hours a day. Getting there though. Many thanks to the members here though!

@denso13 @Madrab Looks like all has gone well. Will give the solvent weld a little bit to cure and then test.

Yeah I don't like the thought of the push fits undert the floor. Did everything in solvent weld. As I say, was just confused by the ring seal adapters with being push fit. All corrected now. The seals look like new. Cleaned up all the debris and sawdust from them and re-greased. Hopefully...

Yeah was going to put a bucket of water down the 4" soil to check that one and then a few jugs down the shower waste for the 1.5"

Hey, thanks for helping. The 1.5" (40mm) waste pipe will all be solvent weld. I assumed it was pushfit pipe as it was pushfit connections into the 4" soil pipe. The pushfit pipe was quite loose though into there so I went and tried my solvent weld pipe and was much better fit. So everything...

Perfect, Thanks @denso13

Most things I probably would, as the first joint out of a poop pipe, maybe pass It looks sludgy but there's no evidence of water or leaking so unlikely oozing poo. Basicly what I was seeing if I got answered back

So it is push fit which is good. Is this just old grease/fairy or whatever they used when they originally put the soil stack together? (Image 1) Going to be a pain to cut unless I cut more of the floor away which I didn't really want to do but if needs must haha. The old basin waste was...

Yeah I'm going to open it up today and have a look before buying the new pan connector. The other end is just the shower waste running in to it, so if I get lucky and it's all push fit, I should be able to just disconnect, cut 50mm off the toilet soil pipe end and then extend the shower waste...

OK thanks all. Il try a solid one first and get it in as far as I can. Failing that I'll have to go flexible. It's very short so hopefully fine. Am I better with the flexible that has a jubilee? Also, is there any reason his soil pipe would be so tight to the t+g floor? I'm sure I get creaking...

Thanks @denso13 Can I be a pain and ask for a link? Maybe screwfix/b&q? I'm assuming mcalpine is the brand I want?

Hello all, Fitting up for my new toilet and pan connectors are a new one for me. The Vanity unit for the concealed cistern with the toilet central has the soil pipe 50mm out of centre. I can see you get offset Pan connectors but it looks like I need a vertical to horizontal (90 degree) pan...

Thanks all, will give that a go later today

So should I just try and get it to open or a chance il shear it off? Or are these supposed to auto vent air? I can't see how they manage that if so

Hello all, good day! I had to drain down our system boiler the other day to cut/modify some pipework for a bathroom radiator to towel rail change out. Bathroom is on 1st floor so I closed all other lockshields and tvr's upstairs. Drain point was above ground floor pipework. It looks like I...
