hi, I am about to replace my damaged asbestos concrete waste pipe in my 1960's ex council house.
I plan to use a fernco connection where it joins the clay pipe underground and replace all pipe on the outside of the house with pvc, connecting into the toilet is where I might have an issue...
coming out of the toilet I have a 90 degree bend going downwards into a fiting that looks like clay (fixed to floor boards) this fitting then must turn 90 degrees and exit through the wall into a t connector on the external soil pipe,
I cannot see enough room to do a fernco type fixing on the outside of the house to this so I assume I need to remove the clay pipe or run a pipe inside the clay fitting has anyone done something similar to this in the past?
I was thinking of doing the following:
1) disconnect exterior soil pipe
2) disconnect toilet
3) break up the internal 90 degree bend and remove in pieces
4) drop 90 bend through hole in toilet floor
5) push new soil pipe through hole where old clay pipe went
6) connect these pipes back to toilet and new t piece
anyone got a better idea please advise!
