Hi all, thanks for having me on the forum.
I’m in the process of replacing 2x clay gully’s that capture the grey water and rain water from the kitchen & bathroom. (Toilet waste is separate)
They were cracked at the top and originally sealed up with concrete which had also cracked. Upon digging down they are cracked quite badly at the joint with the drain.
When looking for a replacement do I need to have a trap at these locations? Or just replace with a suitable similar bend in PVC?
And as these were originally sealed at the top with concrete, do they still need to be sealed? I see different gully options online with a plastic grate. I would prefer to seal them from debris if possible, but unsure what to use to do so?
Is there anything I need to look out for when purchasing replacements? The pipes have been bonded with a joint cement of some kind, so it may be the case that I need to cut the clay pipe behind the neck if it doesn’t chip away cleanly.
Any advice is greatly welcomed.
Thanks
Dan
