Broken 90 degree 36mm ABS pipe
- Thread starter rangy
- Start date
Unfortunately, there's only one right way to do it. Either cut the render/wall back to get to the straight pipe, cut off the broken elbow and replace. If that's to much, then it's cut off from inside and outside and replace the pipe through the wall, a new elbow and then short piece of pipe to rejoin to outside run.
Unless he warned you about the risk of broken pipe and you agreed, then it really should be for him to fix though TBF.

If it's 40mm you may find that you can cut the bend off and leave the spigot then fit a compression elbow. Not sure but worth looking at.
Id replace it from inside if possible but leave the outside unwelded until the rendering has finished so he can take it off to save him having to get around it.
Old fittings get brittle its just one of those things. I doubt he was being careless at the time

Repipe and use a swept elbow or tee with cleaning eye.
Let renderer finish his job with just pipe protruding out the wall then do the external waste run.

Wet work is heavy work.
Sticking a ton of sand and cement onto a wall is not for the limp wristed!
