Hi all,
Renovating my bathroom at the moment and discovered that the previous plumber had put the waste pipe for the sink/bath/shower into the vertical sewage pipe above the floor level (meaning all of the wastes were ultimately flowing uphill - which explains the poor drainage in the room!).
I want to get the replacement 40mm waste into the downpipe at the lowest possible point, but ideally want to avoid replacing the whole stack as it would mean ripping out some boxing in the room below that’s only just been decorated. Other than drilling a 40mm hole in the downpipe and sealing it with putty, is there any product out there that would give me a better seal? I know you can get compression rings for pipes that clamp around them for this purpose but the setup here would not allow me to do it as there is no clearance and a lot of other pipes fouling the area. I’m thinking of some sort of semi-circular plate that can be glued to the vertical pipe with a 40mm inlet on it. Does anyone know of such a product?
Cheers.
