Replacing a cast iron soil stack with plastic

The bottom offset has a solvent socket and a plain spigot, fit spigot into a socket at the top of the section attached to the wall, with socket pointing outwards to start your 45 ° angle to clear the gutter. Glue suitable piece of pipe into the socket.

Top offset has a solvent socket, and a push fit socket. Glue solvent socket onto your 45 ° section to point upwards again, then fit last piece with cage on the end into the push fit socket. This ensure (if glued properly!) the offset cannot move. (Hope that explains it!)

Yes that sounds great Hugh Jaleak, and if any of the bits seem movable by the wind, I can always just bang a couple of screws as suggested by newgasinstaller.

Thanks for all the help chaps, it's really appreciated. Cheers :D
 
If it's glued properly, (liberal coating of glue on both mating surfaces, wipe off any excess as soon as joint is made!), believe me chap, it'll never move! You only get one chance with solvent welded joints, get it wrong once the glue is on and it's scrap.... :eek:
