Magicflex soil vent pipe bend

[MarkWoody]

Hi All,
We are putting a new toilet in the new loft room and need to extend the existing soil and vent pipe from outside the house through into the eves and up to a new vent terminal high on the roof.

The problem is getting the pipe into the eves - there is a very tricky and tight bend to get the pipe through the soffit and into the eves space without exceeding the tile hight (we have a 1920's house which doesn't benefit from the modern wide soffits).

Has anyone used the "Magicflex Male-to-Female Soil Pipe" - is it reliable? would it prove a problem in the future with items getting snagged in it? etc.

Thanks for any advice...

Mark

thats a posh word for it and yes it will get snagged unless you eat a lot of all bran
