Hi Currently undergoing a loft conversion, looking at the soil pipe details
I have found a vast difference in Prices in this case do you get more "bang for your buck" Ie Osma = Rolls Royce or will a lesser alternative still have the Longevity ? any recommendations gratefully received

A mate of mine has just bought a house and wants to fit a toilet/basin downstairs. Only issue is the soil pipe is cast iron which I have never dealt with before.
What’s the best way to connect onto it and what fittings do you think I would need?
Cheers
I've just had a little leak from my toilet so I'm planning to replace it and now doing the measurements to see what my options are. I'm confused by the way the soil pipe was connected 25 years ago by the builders.
Is the WC 90° connector pushed into a 110mm 92.5° bend single socket ? If so, is...
Hi everyone need a little help. I am planing on moving my bathroom and need to run a new soil pipe. Luckily for the most part the joists don’t get in the way except at either end of the run.
My joists are 175mmx60mm, obviously I don’t have death wish so can’t just punch a 115mm hole either end...
Chaps...I have installed a new 110 soil stack which has 2 elbows on the bottom end each has a 50mm push fit socket.
One of the sockets will not seal even though it only has the boiler conden pipe dribbling into it.
Is there any sealer that I can put into the socket to help create a reliable seal?
Hi all
I’m not a qualified plumber but reasonably capable through experience of several house refurbs over the years. I dont know everything and always looking to learn!
I noticed 110mm soil pipe clips marketed online as being for solvent weld or pushfit pipe.
Is there any reason why these couldn't be used interchangeably?
SOLVENT WELD CLIP
PUSHFIT CLIP
Do I have the correct 110 mm soil sockets to connect these bends to a soil pipe?
These are (from right):
a) pushfit WC bent pan connector
b) pushfit bend with one plain end and one socket
c) soil pipe with plain end first then socket
d) solvent weld bend with plain end first, then socket...

Morning all. I hope you are well. Pretty sure I have asked this before but cannot remember.
I am installing a new toilet but have discovered where the soil pipe needs to go there is only 3 and a bit inches diameter. Either side are gas pipes and cables. Is it possible to go from a 3 inch...
May I ask the illustrious members of this forum - I need to replace a vertical section of grey 110mm soil pipe serving a bathroom/toilet. I intend to use slip couplers. Is it likely that the slip couplers will creep over a period of time?
Thanks,

Hi, I've just uninstalled a bathroom, and need to cap off the 110mm soil branch pipe from the WC which has been removed. The pipe goes straight down underground and connected to the main soil pipe.
I bought a 110mm cap, however this requires the use of a standard 110mm coupler to fit it into...
Hope someone may be able to help as i'm getting conflicting 'advice'

Hi All - many thanks for the help you could provide. I am a DIYer currently refurbishing the apartment's bathroom and I am moving the toilet from one corner of the room to another so want to make sure my design is right.

Hi, i have a bath and toilet in close proximity, with the soil pipe horizontal (inc. required gradient) along the bathroom wall where it exits and eventually gets to the vertical soil stack.
Can i connect the 40mm waste pipe to the soil pipe, if so do i need a no return valve or anything? The...
Hello,
I live in a flat so the soil stack is not something I can move.
I have now fitted the branch to soil pipe and also the pan connector to the pan.
The soil pipe is now flush to the wall.
I want to secure it but all the clips expect the soil pipe to be spaced from the wall.
Has anyone...
