Boss connector leaks

[p33kev]

I have had plumbers in to install a new heating system and they connected the boiler condensate to the main stack using a boss connector under the floor boards.

Sounds simple enough but the cowboys did not properly glue the connector and missed a small 10mm section underneath. When i use the water anywhere else in the house, it leaks out water from this missing section.

I tried putting more solvent but did not stop it leaking. I have subsequently surrounded the boss with silicone but not sure about the longevity. When i put the floor boards back it will be sealed forever and cannot leak again.

Any advise please..

Too late now but gap cement would have been the stuff to use.

We're using these, much better & quicker than anything else.

It aint gonna work The only way is to remove the boss completely by cutting / grinding and filing away the glue remains round the hole - then re do it with gap filling solvent and a new boss

Get the c**boys back to correct their basic error!

The leak has stopped but not sure whether the silicone will hold for long. Maybe i will give it another layer of silicone to make def sure unless someone has any other ideas. Do not want to remove the boss and start agin.
