Pro advise please.... I took a look at my cast soil stack and measured the internal diamater, as i have a new back to the wall toilet.
the pipe on the main stack was the nomal cast size 102 internal dia. what I was going to do was cut the bell of the old piece and fit a flexi or an adapter as it was not it the right place for the new wc.
I went to a local merchant and got an adapter, a 90 degree piece of 110 and a nice flexi to fit into that.
I cut the bit of cast with the bell on it and found that none of my adpters would fit.. it was a diffrtent size cast to the main soil, it was 92mm internal, what multikwick call traditional old cast iron (88-92) oh no, this was Saturday afternoon, and the shop I purchased from was closed..
I called round everywhere and they were all shut at 4pm on sat except 1 shop.. I went there and I was told I could use something called a MAC3 (mcalpine) (macfit) he said that wil fit and it did nicely, into the old cast 92mm and a tight fit into my 110 elbow the other end. I have tested the joint with a watering can and it is fine.... but im worried about something.
I want the pro plummers views of this... this adapter the MAC3 is fitted horizontal, and where the 110 fits inside there is a big step, I pored water down and it was fine, but there was a little bit that stayed in the ridge, if this was fitted vertical, it would not sit there. so I am a little worried about this, as it will always has a small bit sitting in the ridge. or will it be fine?
It there a better adapter that I can use that can convert 92mm to a 110
Multikwick dont do one only a flexi, but I would need there 90 degree one (clicky)
or will this be ok... just not happy about the ridge. or should I have used a fernco Flex-Seal, and just coverted it nicly... to 110
