17mm 1970 imperial 3/8” pipe fittings

[Hp1]

Hi,
I managed to damage a 17.3mm plastic pipe when lifting T&G flooring. Can anyone confirm if the 3/8” Imperial ABS pipe fittings are still available and where I could purchase the straight socket? Online they only seem to show 1/2” and above?
Not 100% sure if the pipe is ABS but may be PVC-U so would be helpful to be able to locate a straight socket for that as well.
I realise the two materials use different types is Solvent.
I would use the Philmac UTC 15-21mm, however, space is limited and the PhilMac UTC is 52mm diameter so may not fit. Also not a easy task to replace the complete pipe.

Any help appreciated

Look for polyorc 3/8 x 15mm adaptors they come with a insert.

Durapipe ?

What is it carrying?
Could you glue a piece of abs on top?

Danny, it’s 1979’s Imperial 3/8” class E (BS5391 see attached doc). This had a OD of 17:00-17.30mm.
Exedon, is that adapter for imperial or metric pipe?
Polesapart, I think it is Durapipe as I have seen 3/4 ABS Durapipe in the property. However, I can not see any marking on the section of pipe I can access. Hence why I thought it may be ABS or PVC-U.
Dilation, not feeling confident of gluing a section of ABS just in case it fails in the future.
I may have to cut the pipe in two places and use 2 PhilMac UTC’s 15-21 mm and put speed fit between the two PhilMac connectors (over a length of 3m. Will I be able to cut the pipe and push down towards the plasterboard to fit the PhilMac? How flexible is this sort of old pipe?

Stand corrected. Thought was a typo with that tape measure on it
