What can I use to fill this hole?

[Paul 2222]

Hi. So I had a leak in my kitchen last year. All dried out now. But left with a big hole in my floor where we had to get to the pipe.

Question is - what do I back fill the hole with? Would expandable foam be ok, and then screed over the top? Would you have to insulate the pipe work beforehand?

Any thoughts or advice appreciated.

thanks,

Paul

Yes it is.

Ouch. I don’t think you should bury speedfit fittings but if that were mine, I’d wrap Denso around the pipe and fitting, cover with sand and then concrete on top.
