Broken clay drain

[selfbuildextension]

is there a way to temporary make this water tight?

It will be replaced in a few months as part of an extension project.

Previous owners had it sitting on some bricks to hold it up, just found it under a concrete shed base.

If it were me I'd buy a couple of clay to upvc rubber couplers and replace the section in plastic.It might be 40 quod of parts but chances are you'll use them all in the new extension anyway.

Thanks for the help.

So cut before the Y and then put the connector on, then plastic back to the soil pipe. Seems straightforward, is an angle grinder the best way to cut the existing clay pipe?

What’s the best way to connect to the cast iron soil pipe?

As said, replace with plastic. All the bits can be salvaged a reused when you do your project.

Fernco coupler.

Cut it with a grinder just after the collar that’s out of the picture to the left.

Thanks, will get all the bits and get it done tomorrow.

Diamond disc on the grinder works ever so well - if you've got one marked Tile Cutting that'll do nicely also

All done, Not perfect but will be fine till it all gets ripped up soon I hope.

Thanks for the help.

Good job done, only point I would make is if that is a soil pipe, the bend needs to be replaced with a chamber in the long term.

Hopefully just a few months before its all ripped out, I'm going to leave it exposed encase there are any issues between now and then. Currently waiting on planning permission.

Yes and downstream (preferably) so that the solids waste is hitting the chamber more at 45 deg's rather than 90.
